Shapely brunette Colleen Townsend was born on December 21, 1928 in the Los Angeles area and started her brief career as a Twentieth Century Fox starlet in 1947 at the age of eighteen. A Mormon at the time by choice, she had completed a year and a half at Brigham Young University in Utah when discovered by Hollywood scouts.
For years she appeared unbilled in sentimental comedy before finally earning a featured role in the drama The Walls of Jericho (1948). Gracing the cover of Life magazine, she was hailed as one of Hollywood's more promising fresh-faced starlets.
She then appeared in two other pictures, the modest homespun comedy Chicken Every Sunday (1949) as the daughter of Dan Dailey and Celeste Holm, and, her better known, the war comedy When Willie Comes Marching Home (1950) with Dailey again and Corinne Calvet, before calling it quits.

Evans, Jr. It is assumed she renounced Mormonism as her husband became pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Hollywood. In 1954, Colleen (Townsend) Evans returned to acting but in roles produced by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association -- Oiltown, U.
S.A. (1954) and Souls in Conflict (1955).Colleen has served as a pastor's wife at churches from Southern California to Washington D.C. A strong advocate for human rights, she has consulted with the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Human Rights issues and has served on the boards of several ministries, including the Christian College Coalition and World Vision and International Justice Mission.
