  2. There’s a slight mistake on this page…” Dorothy McGuire’s IMDb page shows 113 acting credits from 1940-1992″…just to let you know 😉

    1. Your video is a great addition to this tribute page!
      Just noticed massive vids on Davis and Crawford have been added, too…keep up the great work ;O)

    2. Hey Lupino…..too many Dorothys running around this website……been fixed….good catch….and thanks for the heads up.

  3. No mention of Ms Malone’s death in the german media- still, 92 is more than most of us will probably live to see 🙂 Yet, with each death of somebody connected to the Hollywood of yesteryear, that so called “Golden Age” seems to be removed a little bit more from the realms of our present day reality.
    I have seen 12 of the movies mentioned above, I loved her in Last Voyage, Too Much Too Soon, Man with a thousand Faces and, of course, Written on the Wind. To me, it was “Dallas” on the big screen…a better script, great production values, a director I like very much- but with all the “soapy” drama of TV’s little brother. Even Malone’s characters name “Marylee” sounds like SueEllens big sister 😉 So, a wonderful “training ground” for what would come to her rescue careerwise- the matriarch of TV’s Peyton Place.
    I’ve read online that Miss Malone had been quite ill during her last years, so perhaps her passing came as a blessing to herself. Rest in Peace, Marylee!

    1. Hey LupinoHoF 17….that is sad that the German media did not pick up Malone’s passing. You are correct….seems we lose another bridge every few days. Hopefully Kirk Douglas and Olivia de Havilland have another 10 years.

      Your 12 does not top the tally count…looks like Flora gets another title. But your 12 puts you in a second place tie with Greg. I have seen and enjoyed all of your favorites except for Too Much Too Soon. Good point about Dallas and Written On The Wind….I am sure parts were ‘borrowed” from that Oscar winning movie.

      I did not know she had been ill….so you might be right about it being a blessing. Good feedback on Dorothy Malone…..RIP.

  4. Hey Dan…..I found out late last night. It was eerie…because I had just researched her for Mike the previous night….so I quickly put this page together. I am sure there are other movies I could include.

    First list is pretty impressive since her last acting role was 25 years ago. 2nd list is huge. Filled with legends and some unknown….Bess Flowers with 7 movies….another impressive total for Ms. Flowers.

    Third list. 25 Oscar winners is a little on the slight side for a person who appeared in movies in 6 different categories.

    Thanks for sharing this information…..a nice way to look at her awesome career. Rest in Peace Dorothy Malone.

    1. Dorothy didn’t make the Sunday papers in the city. A couple of years ago when Joan Fontaine, another Oscar winner died, she wasn’t covered either in the News or Post too.

      1. Hey Dan…..not surprised….our Sunday paper which used to be huge is now how the Monday paper used to be….very very thin. Sad that movie stars of the past get no respect. Thanks for that information.
