Dorothy Morris
Birthday:
23 February 1922
Biography
Growing up in Hollywood was such fun. My kindergarten teacher got me started acting, and once I got the feel of being someone else, I couldn't stop. I acted in everything I could all through grammar school, junior high, and then Hollywood High. I received good feedback from everyone, and being a sensitive and shy person, I found it extremely fulfilling.

Dorothy Morris
This young, pleasant actress was under contract to MGM during the war years. Dorothy Morris was groomed by the studio starting in 1941 and for the first couple of years barely earned a screen credit. She rose gradually in the ranks to secondary ingenue roles as the daughter or friend of the star. She was pretty, delicate-looking and fairly demure along the lines of a Barbara Bates or Cathy O'Donnell, and was probably best featured in such films as Someone to Remember (1943), The Human Comedy (1943), Rationing (1944) and None Shall Escape (1944). Dorothy willingly gave up her modest career when she married a math instructor in 1943. The marriage, which produced two sons, lasted 23 years before it ended. She returned to her acting craft in the late 50s and appeared in minor roles on TV, as well as two films Macabre (1958), the William Castle 'shocker' and Seconds (1966) starring Rock Hudson. A second marriage to a minister took her, again, away from the camera lights and this time it was permanent, save for some amateur theatricals. Her sister, Caren Marsh, was an MGM dancer who also was Judy Garland's frequent stand-in.
