Born to be Bad is a 1934 American Pre-Code drama film directed by Lowell Sherman, and starring Loretta Young and Cary Grant. It was twice rejected by the Hays Code before finally being accepted.

Lorretta Young plays Letty, a young unmarried mother with a small child, embittered by the way life has treated her. When the boy is hit by a truck driven by a wealthy businessman (Cary Grant), Letty is persuaded by her lawyer to extort money from him by claiming her son’s injuries are worse than they really are.
