Noreen Nash

Noreen Nash was inspired by her love of French history to write “Agnes Sorel, Mistress of Beauty.” This is the story of a true historical figure whose loveliness remains legend, and who became the first officially designated mistress to a king of France who struggled to follow the visions of Joan of Arc. Noreen’s study of medical history spurred her to write “By Love Fulfilled,”which follows a young physician in the court of Catherine de Médicis during a time of social, political and religious upheaval.

Noreen Roth came to Hollywood as the Apple Blossom Queen of Wenatchee, Washington, and acted in movies and television as Noreen Nash. She was married to Dr. Lee Siegel for 47 years until his death. She later married actor James Whitmore. She has two sons, Lee Siegel Jr., who is a noted author and a Professor of World Religions; and Dr. Robert Siegel, a cardiologist. She has four grandchildren who are the light of her life.
