Dorothy Malone (born January 30, 1925) is an American actress. Her film career began in 1943, and in her early years she played small roles, mainly in B-movies. 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 as Constance MacKenzie on Peyton Place from 1964 to 1968. Less active in her later years, Malone returned to films in 1992 as the friend of Sharon Stone's character in Basic Instinct. | Date Of Birth | January 30, 1925 |

| 7 | Best known by the public for her starring role as Constance MacKenzie on Peyton Place (1964). |
| 8 | Was the 45th actress to receive an Academy Award; she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Written on the Wind (1956) at The 29th Annual Academy Awards (1957) on March 27, 1957. |

| 14 | Has played Robert Keith's character's daughter twice on film: in Young at Heart (1954) and Written on the Wind (1956). |
| 15 | She was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1716 Vine St. on February 8, 1960. |
| 16 | Retired from acting in 1992 after 50 years. |
| 17 | During her time in Hollywood, she was an active member of the Hollywood Republican Committee. |
| 18 | Studied Drama at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. |
| 19 | Unlike other prominent Hollywood actresses, she did not have an "official Italian voice", she was often dubbed by Renata Marini, Rosetta Calavetta and Dhia Cristiani. Lidia Simoneschi, Micaela Giustiniani and Clelia Bernacchi lent their voice to her at some point as well. |
| 20 | Won the Golden Apple Award as "Most Cooperative Actress" in 1965. The male counterpart went to John Wayne. Ironically, later that year, she expressed her extreme dissatisfaction with her limited role on Peyton Place (1964). Three years later she was written off the series and sued 20th Century-Fox for $1.6 million for breach of contract. It was settled out of court. |
| 21 | She turned blonde for Young at Heart (1954) and remained that way for the rest of her career except for Battle Cry (1955) and Too Much, Too Soon (1958). |
| 22 | Was one of five children. Two older sisters died very young of complications from polio, and another younger brother was struck and killed by lightning while on a Dallas golf course. When she won the Oscar for Written on the Wind (1956), she dedicated the award to her late brother. |
| 23 | She often complained that her character on Peyton Place (1964) was not given enough to do, and that Mia Farrow's character was monopolizing the story lines. She was quoted as saying, "I live much more drama and tragedy in my own life than I ever do on 'Peyton Place'!" She was written out of the show in 1968 and sued 20th Century Fox for breach of contract. The case was settled out of court. |
| 24 | She became embroiled in heavy litigation and a messy divorce action with husband Jacques Bergerac, whom she accused of marrying famous women only to promote his career. Bergerac was previously married to Ginger Rogers. |
| 25 | In 1965, while working on Peyton Place (1964), she suffered a near-fatal illness that included a pulmonary embolism, blood clots on both lungs, an enlarged heart and pneumonia. Upon fully recuperating, she returned to the series after being temporarily replaced by Lola Albright. |
| 26 | Former beauty contest winner before coming to Hollywood. |
