Beverlee McGrath

HSUS describes Beverlee McGrath as its Nevada State Director, even though she resides in Oxnard, California. McGrath calls herself HSUS's California legislative specialist. She oversees HSUS's legislative and lobbying activities in Nevada.
On its official bio page for McGrath, HSUS claims she is a "veteran film and television actor" and "the recipient of the Decency Award from the Screen Actors Guild for her humane activities." But the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) does not contain a page for anyone named Beverlee McGrath, nor could the Screen Actors Guild provide any information about the existence of a "Decency Award." In fact, the only search engine result we can find for "SAG Decency Award" is HSUS's website.
Of the nine actresses with the first name Beverlee on IMDb, five are dead; one was born in 1984; one had only uncredited roles in movies made during the 1940s; and the last had a single role in a 1969 film before disappearing. The only possible match is Beverlee Reed, who had bit roles in five television shows and two movies between 1961 and 1986, but a Google search for Beverlee Reed McGrath comes up empty.
Photos of McGrath are as scarce as her SAG "award," but the terrorist Animal Liberation Front has a grainy image of her shaking Mickey Rooney's hand after an HSUS-led California press conference.
McGrath joined HSUS in 2009 following 20 years as a lobbyist and Western Region Director for the Doris Day Animal League (DDAL), which merged with HSUS in 2006.
While at DDAL, she lobbied for numerous California regulations of animal use, including a ban on cosmetic and cleaning-product tests using animals, restrictions against automotive crash tests that use pigs, and dogfighting and cockfighting laws.
