Detailed profile & career
Gloria Grahame (whose journey began on Gloria Penelope Hallward; November 28, 1923 – October 5, 1981) was an American actress. She began her acting path in the industry in theater, and in 1944 made her first film for MGM.
Biography & Career
Many biographies indicate she was originally born on Gloria Grahame Hallward, but she adopted the surname Grahame, her mother's acting name, as her professional name. Despite a featured role in It's a Wonderful Life (1946), MGM did not believe she had the potential for major success and sold her contract to RKO. Often cast in film noir projects, Grahame was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Crossfire (1947), and later won the award for her work in The Bad and the Beautiful (1952). After starring opposite Humphrey Bogart in In a Lonely Place (1950), she achieved her highest profile with Sudden Fear (1952), The Big Heat (1953), Human Desire (1954), and Oklahoma! (1955), but her film professional journey began to wane soon afterwards. She returned to work on the stage, but continued to appear in films and television productions, usually in supporting roles.
