Gloria Grahame 1923-1961

Gloria Grahame Hallward (November 28, 1923 – October 5, 1981) was an American actress who made her first film in 1944

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).

In 1974, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. It went into remission less than a year later and Grahame returned to work. In 1980, the cancer returned, but Grahame refused to accept the diagnosis or seek treatment. Choosing instead to continue working, she traveled to the United Kingdom to appear in a play. Her health, however, declined rapidly. She returned to New York City, where she died in October 1981, aged 57.

Below is a clip showing Grahame’s Oscar win for Best Supporting Actress in The Bad and the Beautiful (1952), followed by a trailer for In a Lonely Place, which is showing on TCM at 8 pm ET on November 14, 2023.
