Description:
Gloria Grahame (November 28, 1923 – October 5, 1981) was an American actress.
Grahame began her acting career in theatre, and in 1944 she made her first film for MGM. 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 Studios. Often cast in film noir projects, Grahame received a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Crossfire (1947). She won this award for her work in The Bad and the Beautiful (1952). She achieved successes with Sudden Fear (1952), Human Desire (1953) and The Big Heat (1953) and Oklahoma! (1955), but her film career began to wane.
