Biography

Dorothy Malone is an American actress whose film career began in the mid 1940s. In her early years she played small roles, but after a decade in films, she began to acquire a more glamorous image, particularly after her performance in Written on the Wind(1956), for which she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Her film career reached its peak by the beginning of the 1960s, and she achieved later success with her television role of Constance MacKenzie on the television show, Peyton Place, from 1964 to 1968
