Happy 93rd Birthday Arlene Dahl!!!
Born on August 11, 1925 in Minneapolis, Minnesota
Thanks for everything, so far...retired since 1999 but still available for interviews about "the good old days" in movies.
American actress of Norwegian descent, classic beauty, and when movie roles runned out worked as a columnist and owned and created cosmetic brands.
A year after graduation from high school, Dahl went to Chicago where she was a buyer for Marshall and Brown and worked as a model. She then travelled to New York where she successfully auditioned for a part in the play Mr. Strauss Goes to Boston in 1945. This led to her getting the lead in another play, Questionable Ladies which was seen by a talent scout from Hollywood.
Dahl had an uncredited bit in Life with Father 1947. She was promoted to leading lady in My Wild Irish Rose 1948 with Dennis Morgan, a big hit and led to an offer from MGM for a long-term contract.
Her biggest commercial success as an actress was Journey to the Center of the Earth 1959.
Since 1960 she has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Some smaples from her career:
