MINI BIO:
Green-eyed blonde of sulky appearance and unique, slightly lisping delivery (reminiscent of Humphrey Bogart, with whom she once co-starred). She painted a superb gallery of bad girls - Oscar-nominated as early as 1947, finally winning best supporting actress for The Bad and the Beautiful in 1952 - but could be surprisingly inept when called on to project a sympathetic character. Four times married, including (first) Stanley Clements (1945-1948) and (second) director Nicholas Ray (1948-1952). Died from cancer.
