Gloria Dickson

Su historia

Thais Lelia Dickerson, born on August 13, 1917, was an American stage and screen actress of the 1930s and 1940s. She was also known by her stage name Gloria Dickson. She was born in Pocatello, Idaho, USA. She began acting during high school in amateur theatre productions and was later spotted by Warner Bros. talent scout Max Arnow, who signed her to a contract. Her film debut in 1937's "They Won't Forget" landed her on the top of Hollywood's short list of important up-and-comers, a distinction that garnered her enormous publicity. She married Perc Westmore in 1938, Ralph Murphy in 1941, and William Fitzgerald in 1944. She died during a fire on April 10, 1945, at the Los Angeles home she was renting from actor Sidney Toler, caused by an unextinguished cigarette that ignited an overstuffed chair on the main floor, while she slept upstairs. Her body, and that of her pet dog, were found in the bathroom, and she is assumed to have attempted to escape through the bathroom window. She died from asphyxiation; flames had seared her lungs, and her body had suffered first- and second-degree burns. I hope this information helps!
