MINI BIO:
Austerely beautiful dark-haired English actress given her first big film role by Chaplin in Limelight. She always seemed too dignified to play comedy, fantasy, or sex-drama, although she had a go at all three, sometimes with notable success. But drama is her forte; although it never made her a box-office attraction, she was, and is, capable of both moving and biting acting. Married to Rod Steiger from 1959-1969. Married author Philip Roth in 1990. (Source: available at Amazon Quinlan's Film Stars).HONORS and AWARDS:
.
Bloom was never nominated for an Academy Award.
