Gloria Grahame
Gloria Grahame (born Gloria Penelope Hallward; November 28, 1923 – October 5, 1981) was an American actress. She began her acting career in theater, and in 1944 made her first film for MGM. Many biographies indicated she was born Gloria Grahame Hallward but she adopted the surname Grahame, her mother's acting name, as her professional name. She was raised a Methodist. 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. Read more on Wikipedia
