City, Law And Order ("Menace", "Juvenile", "Stiff"). She died after a long battle with ovarian cancer. Paramount scheduled her to play opposite Gary Cooper and Shirley Temple in Now and Forever in what was to have been her first major starring role as a romantic lead. A US stage and film actress of the 1980s and 1990s, she was best known for her film role of Valerian in the 1981 fantasy film Dragonslayer, and for her stage role of Charlotte Cardoza in the 1998-1999 Broadway musical Titanic. Her next film Shoot the Works led to comparisons with Mae West, and her rendition of the ballad "With My Eyes Wide Open, I'm Dreaming" in the film became a hit record. Caitlin Clarke (May 3, 1952 - September 9, 2004) was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her most important and substantial role followed in the Shirley Temple film Little Miss Marker. The film was a success and the reviews for Dell were favourable; Paramount began to consider her as a potential star. She won her first film role over such established contenders as Mae Clarke and Isabel Jewell and made her debut in Wharf Angel (1934). She moved to Hollywood in 1933 and was signed to a contract by Paramount Studios. During this time she was closely associated with Russ Colombo and her celebrity status was elevated by the media attention she received while denying rumours of an impending marriage. In 1931 she moved to New York to appear on Broadway in the Ziegfeld Follies, and followed this success with her role in the production of Tattle Tales in 1933. With this success she established a successful vaudeville act. She began entering and winning beauty pageants and at the age of fifteen won the title of "Miss New Orleans". Born Dorothy Dell Goff in Hattiesburg, Mississippi to entertainers, she spent much of her childhood in New Orleans, Louisiana. Dorothy Dell (January 30, 1915 – June 8, 1934) was an American film actress. Lamour also won the title of "Miss New Orleans" in 1931, succeeding her friend Dell who had won the title the previous year. Dorothy Lamour, a childhood friend of Dell, credited Dell as the person responsible for the beginning of her own film career. Her final role in "Now and Forever" was taken by Carole Lombard, and provided Lombard with one of her earliest significant successes. |
