''Secrets of an Actress'' is a 1938 romantic film directed by William Keighley and starring Creator/KayFrancis, George Brent, and Creator/IanHunter.

Fay Carter (Francis) is an actress who teams up with an architect, Peter Snowden (Hunter), who wants to become a producer. However, Peter's architect partner Dick (Brent) is less enthusiastic at first, but then he falls in love for her, setting up a love triangle. Complicating matters is Dick's estranged wife Carla, from whom getting a divorce proves difficult.

!!This film features examples of:
* AwfulWeddedLife: Dick and Carla are already separated, but she still doesn't make things easy for him.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Dick at first distrusts Kay and her association with Peter, but eventually falls in love with her.
* FriendsRentControl: Yes, even in the '30s. Fay's apartment rent of $150 per month would equate to nearly $2,570 in the 2010's -- still a bargain for a New York City apartment of that size and quality.
* LoveTriangle: Fay loves Peter, but she also falls for Dick after meeting him.
