Karen Morley

She died from pneumonia in Woodland Hills, California. Besides a strong domestic reputation gained through a widely varied list of roles in theater and television drama, film director Aki Kaurismäki's films have brought Kati Outinen international attention and even adulation, particularly in Germany and France. In December 1999, she appeared in the magazine Vanity Fair in an article about blacklist survivors. Her breakthrough role was as a tough girl in the generational classic youth film Täältä tullaan elämä by Matti Kassila. She remained married to Gough until his death in 1984, and moved to the San Francisco Bay area late in life. Having studied under Jouko Turkka during his "reign" of drama studies in Finland, she nevertheless has never been associated with the "turkkalaisuus" school of acting methodology. She maintained her political activism for the rest of her life, running unsuccessfully for government in 1954, but was never able to rebuild her acting career. Kati Outinen (born August 17, 1961) is a Finnish actress who has often played leading female roles in Aki Kaurismäki's films.

Her career came to an end in 1947, when she testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee and refused to answer questions about her alleged Communist Party membership. In 1943 she married the actor Lloyd Gough. She was a frequent player in films until the end of the decade, and was married to director Charles Vidor from 1932 until 1943. Born Mildred Linton in Ottumwa, Iowa, Morley came to prominence in Hollywood films in the early 1930s, most notably in Mata Hari (1931), Scarface (1932), Arsene Lupin (1933), and Dinner at Eight (1934).
