Dorothy Ford (April 4, 1922 – October 15, 2010)[1] was an American actress and model active from the 1940s through the 1960s.
Career
She began her career as a model,[2] largely owing to her height of Шаблон:Convert and a 38-26-38-and-a-half figure.[3] She went on to be the first woman signed by showman Billy Rose for the swimming chorus in his Aquacade at the Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco.[2] She studied at the Actors' Laboratory Theatre.[4] After seven months with the Aquacade, she became a showgirl at Earl Carroll's, where she worked for a year and a half.[5]
In 1944, she made her screen debut in Lady in the Dark. She continued her acting career, including roles in the Andy Hardy movie Love Laughs at Andy Hardy (1946) and in Abbott and Costello's Jack and the Beanstalk (1952). She appeared in 39 movies from 1943 to 1962.[6]Шаблон:Better source needed.
