Before that, the last movie she had appeared in had been in the 1960s. She died from lymphedema in Los Angeles, California. The last movie she appeared in was the 1991 film Night of the Warrior, starring her son, Lorenzo Lamas. Although regarded as a capable and popular film actress, it was for her contributions to television that Dru was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She has two other children from other marriages. Her film career began to fade by the end of the 1950s but she continued working frequently in television. Arlene Dahl and Fernando Lamas got divorced in 1960, and Dahl later remarried. She later lamented that she had been typecast in western films, commenting that once an actress became typecast, that was the end, and adding that she had never liked horses.

She also founded her own business, Arlene Dahl Enterprises, which marketed lingerie and cosmetics. She also gave a well received performance in the drama film All the King's Men (1949). Dahl would go on to work as a beauty columnist and as a writer. Over the next decade she appeared frequently in films, most often cast in westerns such as the John Wayne films Red River (1948) and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949). Shortly after giving birth to her son, Dahl slowed and eventually ended her career as an actress, although she still appeared in movies and on television occassionally. Dru was spotted by a talent scout and made her first film appearance in Abie's Irish Rose in 1946. In 1958 Dahl and Lamas had their only son, Lorenzo Lamas (who also grew up to become an actor). During this time Dru met and married the popular singer Dick Haymes and when they moved to Hollywood she found work in theater.

A few years later she and Barker got divorced, and Dahl would go on to marry another Hollywood actor, Fernando Lamas. Born Joanne Letitia LaCock in Logan, West Virginia, Dru came to New York City in 1940, and after finding employment as a model, was chosen by Al Jolson to appear in the cast of his Broadway show Hold Onto Your Hats. Dahl met the famous movie star Lex Barker in the early 1950s, and in 1952, Dahl and Barker got married. Joanne Dru (January 31, 1922 – September 10, 1996) was an American film actress.
