Elegance and femininity are fitting descriptions for Arlene Dahl. She became one of the most beautiful actresses to grace the screen during the post war period. Audiences were captivated by her breathtaking beauty, and the way she used to it to her advantage, progressing from glamour to character roles. Of Norwegian extract, Miss Dahl was born in Minneapolis, USA on Aug 11, 1924. Following high school, she joined a local drama group supporting herself with a variety of jobs. These included a model for a number of department stores. In Hollywood for 1946, she signed a brief contract with Warner Brothers, but she is best remembered for her work at MGM. The Bride Goes Wild was her first work at Metro. It was an odd but rather humorous tale of love, which starred Van Johnson and June Allyson. Although her beauty captivated audiences, it ultimately limited her to glamour roles, and the mark she made at MGM was small. Some of her best films were the; Reign of Terror (1949), Three Little Words (1950), Woman's World (1954), Slightly Scarlet (1956), and Journey to the Centre of the Earth.
