Gloria Grahame Wiki: Salary, Married, Wedding, Spouse, Family

Gloria Grahame (November 28, 1923 – October 5, 1981) was an American stage, film and television 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), and she won this award for her work in The Bad and the Beautiful (1952). She achieved her highest profile with Sudden Fear (1952), Human Desire (1953), The Big Heat (1953), and Oklahoma! (1955), but her film career 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. In 1974, Grahame was diagnosed with breast cancer. It went into remission less than a year later and Grahame returned to work. It returned in 1980 but she refused to accept the diagnosis or seek treatment. She chose to continue working and travelled to England to appear in a play. Her health rapidly declined. She developed peritonitis after undergoing a procedure to remove fluid from her abdomen in September 1981. She returned to New York City, where she died in October 1981.

#	Quote
1	I don't think I ever understood Hollywood. Whatever they told me to do, I did. I went to the studio in the morning, stayed on the set all day, then went home, and ate my dinner, and studied my part, and went to sleep.
2	[To Rex Reed in 1973] I was there for years under contract to MGM, RKO, and Paramount... I don't know how many others. Actually, I do, but who cares? But I don't want others to remember the details, just the image.
3	I married Nicholas Ray, the director. People yawned. Later on I married his son, and from the press's reaction you'd have thought I was committing incest or robbing the cradle!
4	I don't think I ever understood Hollywood.
5	I remember everything, even the dates. But I don't want others to remember the details, just the image.
6	There's always a race against time. I don't think for one moment that life gets better. How can it? One's body starts to fall apart.
7	You go through life in a series of peaks and valleys.
8	It wasn't the way I looked at a man, it was the thought behind it.

8	Her 1st husband, actor Stanley Clements died 11 days after Gloria in October 1981.
