Marie Windsor

Was a former Miss Utah.
Often cast as an adulterous wife, slutty girlfriend, female gang leader or gun moll, she proved so convincing in those roles that she often received Bibles in the mail with passages underlined that covered the "sins" she had committed onscreen, warning her that she would go to hell if she didn't reform. Several of those types of letters dwelt so much on her "immorality" and "evil ways" that, unnerved, she turned them over to the police.
One of her earliest jobs in the film industry was as a stand-in for Bette Davis at Warner Bros. in the mid-'40s.
Served as a director of the Screen Actors Guild for 25 years.
Was one of the 500 stars nominated by the American Film Institute to become one of the 50 greatest American screen legends. The winners were revealed on a June 15, 1999, three-hour TV special on CBS, AFI's 100 Years... 100 Stars: America's Greatest Screen Legends (1999) .

[Stanley Kubrick] had a part for me in Lolita (1962) as Shelley Winters' best friend, but there was a problem in England with the EADY plan, and there was no way that they could squeeze me in. I haven't seen him in a long time, but we exchange Valentine's cards. I feel people have more time to think about it if they get a Valentine. Christmas is too crazy with other things.
I'm 5'9" and there were two stars in my life who didn't mind that I was taller than they--George Raft and John Garfield. Raft told me how to walk with him in a scene: We'd start off in a long shot normal, and about the time we got together in a close-up, I'd be bending my knees so I'd be shorter. I had to do a tango with Raft and I learned to dance in ballet shoes with my knees bent.
