Dorothy Malone (born Mary Dorothy Maloney; January 29, 1924 – January 19, 2018) was an American actress. Her film career began in 1943, and in her early years, she played small roles, mainly in B-movies, with the exception of a supporting role in The Big Sleep (1946). After a decade, she changed her image, particularly after her role in Written on the Wind (1956), for which she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Her career reached its peak by the beginning of the 1960s, and she achieved later success with her television role as Constance MacKenzie on Peyton Place (1964–1968). Less active in her later years, Malone's last screen appearance was in Basic Instinct in 1992.{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/19/movies/dorothy-malone-star-of-tvs-peyton-place-dies-at-93.html|title=Dorothy Malone, Star of TV's Peyton Place, Dies at 93|work=The New York Times|date=January 19, 2018|access-date=January 20, 2018}}

When she was six months old, her family moved to Dallas, Texas.{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2009-may-23-et-malone23-story.html|title=Dorothy Malone recalls her days in 'Peyton Place'|work=Los Angeles Times|date=May 23, 2009|access-date=June 19, 2017|first=Donald|last=Liebenson|archive-date=March 3, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170303235509/http://articles.latimes.com/2009/may/23/entertainment/et-malone23|url-status=live}} There she modeled for Neiman Marcus and attended Ursuline Academy of Dallas, Highland Park High School, Hockaday Junior College, and later, Southern Methodist University (SMU). She originally considered becoming a nurse.

Malone recalled in 1981,{{block quote|"I was minoring in drama because I always seemed to be in the plays produced in high school and college. ...

She later recalled, "I was a bridesmaid at a wedding in one picture. In another film, I was the leader of an all-girl orchestra. The only thing I did at RKO of any note was lose my Texas accent." Her RKO appearances included Higher and Higher (1943) with Frank Sinatra, Seven Days Ashore (1944), Show Business (1944) with Eddie Cantor, Step Lively (1944) again with Sinatra, and Youth Runs Wild (1944) for producer Val Lewton.{{cite news|author=Schallert, E.|date=August 17, 1943|id={{ProQuest|165444386}}|title=DRAMA AND FILM|work=Los Angeles Times}} RKO elected not to renew her contract.{{cite news|id={{ProQuest|1689231314}}|title= HOLLYWOOD'S SHAPELIEST SHADOW-GIRL: WINNER AND RUNNERS-UP IN A SCREEN CURVILINEAR CONTEST|date=1944|work=The Sketch|volume=200|issue=2596|pages=154–55}} She made a brief uncredited appearance in One Mysterious Night (1944), a Boston Blackie film for Columbia.{{cite news|date=May 24, 1944|id={{ProQuest|106765660}}|title=SCREEN NEWS HERE AND IN HOLLYWOOD|work= New York Times}}

She then signed a contract with Warner Bros. The studio, she said in 1985, changed her surname "from Maloney to Malone. They placed my picture in the newspaper and they gave me a raise."
Malone's early Warner movies included Hollywood Canteen (1944), Too Young to Know (1945), and Frontier Days (1945). She first achieved notice when Howard Hawks cast her as the bespectacled bookstore clerk in The Big Sleep (1946) with Humphrey Bogart. Warner gave her bigger parts in Janie Gets Married (1945), Night and Day (1946), and To the Victor (1946), with Dennis Morgan.{{cite news|author=Scott, J.L.|date=April 4, 1948|id={{ProQuest|165828696}}|title=Add one more starlet to texas' bright crown|work=Los Angeles Times}}{{subscription required}} Her first lead was Two Guys from Texas (1948) with Morgan and Jack Carson; this film, in her words, established her onscreen persona as "the all-American girl watching the all-American boy do all sorts of things."{{cite news|author-link=Hedda Hopper|last=Hopper|first=Hedda|date=March 20, 1955|title=Dorothy's Back!|work=Chicago Daily Tribune|id={{ProQuest|178843497}}}} {{subscription required}}
She appeared in One Sunday Afternoon (1948) with Dennis Morgan and Janis Paige for director Raoul Walsh; this was a remake of The Strawberry Blonde (1941), with Malone playing the part played by Olivia de Havilland in the original. She was billed third in Flaxy Martin (1949) with Virginia Mayo and Zachary Scott, then played a good girl in a Western with Joel McCrea, South of St Louis (1949). McCrea and she were re-teamed in Colorado Territory (1949), a remake of High Sierra (1941), also for Walsh, her last film before she left the studio.{{cite news|id={{ProQuest|1879642661}}|title=The life story of Dorothy Malone|date=September 19, 1953|work=Picture show|issue=61|page=12}}{{subscription required}}

Columbia used Malone to play Randolph Scott's leading lady in The Man from Nevada (1950). She stayed at that studio for Convicted (1950) and The Killer That Stalked New York (1950). She made Mrs. O'Malley and Mr. Malone (1951) at MGM and played Tim Holt's love interest in RKO's Saddle Legion (1951){{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1950/07/13/archives/fox-will-remake-berkeley-square-studio-plans-new-version-of.html|title=Fox Will Remake 'Berkeley Square'|first=Thomas F.|last=Brady|work=The New York Times|date=July 13, 1950|page=31|quote=Dorothy Malone, former Warner contract player, has been engaged by R.K.O. for the feminine lead opposite Tim Holt in 'Saddle Legion'}} {{subscription required}} and John Ireland's love interest in The Bushwackers (1951). She began acting on television while continuing to appear in films, guest-starring on shows such as The Philco-Goodyear Television Playhouse ("Education of a Fullback", 1951), and Kraft Theatre ("The Golden Slate", 1951).
She relocated to New York City for several months to study acting until producer Hal B. Wallis called her back to appear in Scared Stiff (1953) starring the comedy duo of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.{{cite news|last=Scott|first=J.L.|date=September 21, 1952|title=Whims, Sudden Urges Spur Dorothy Malone|work=Los Angeles Times|id={{ProQuest|166367631}}}} {{subscription required}} Malone appeared in a war film, Torpedo Alley (1952) for Allied Artists. She was a love interest in Westerns with Ronald Reagan (Law and Order, 1953) and Mark Stevens (Jack Slade, 1953). She was also in the thriller Loophole (1954), billed second. She did episodes of The Doctor ("The Runaways", 1953), Omnibus ("The Horn Blows at Midnight", 1953); Four Star Theatre ("Moorings", 1953; "A Study in Panic", 1954), Fireside Theatre ("Afraid to Live", 1954; "Our Son", 1954; "Mr Onion" 1955), Lux Video Theatre ("The Hunted", 1955), The Christophers ("The World Starts with Jimmy", 1955), and General Electric Theatre ("The Clown" with Henry Fonda, 1955).
Film roles included The Lone Gun (1954), a Western with George Montgomery; Pushover (1954), a thriller with Fred MacMurray and Kim Novak; and Private Hell 36 (1954) from director Don Siegel. Malone was reunited with Sinatra in Young at Heart (1954), as a co-star. She had a leading part in Battle Cry (1955), playing a married woman who has an affair with a young soldier (Tab Hunter) during World War II, a box-office hit.'The Top Box-Office Hits of 1955', Variety Weekly, January 25, 1956.
She again co-starred with Ireland in The Fast and the Furious (1955), directed by Ireland but perhaps best remembered for being the first film produced by Roger Corman, who would later recount that Malone "had left her agent and, having no work, accepted a part for next to nothing.""Corman Speaks", Positif, Issue 59, March 1964, pp. 15–28. He cast her as the female lead in his directorial debut, Five Guns West (1955). At Warner Bros., Malone made a Western with Randolph Scott, Tall Man Riding (1955), then was cast as Liberace's love interest in the unsuccessful film Sincerely Yours (1955). More successful was the Paramount musical comedy Artists and Models (1955), a reunion with Martin and Lewis, where she played the love interest of Martin's character. She then returned to Westerns: At Gunpoint (1955), with MacMurray; Tension at Table Rock (1956), with Richard Egan; and Pillars of the Sky (1956) with Jeff Chandler.

Malone transformed herself into a platinum blonde and shed her "good girl" image when she co-starred with Rock Hudson, Lauren Bacall, and Robert Stack in director Douglas Sirk's drama Written on the Wind (1956). Her portrayal of the dipso-nymphomaniac daughter of a Texas oil baron won her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.{{cite web|url=https://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/1957|title=The 29th Academy Awards: 1957|date=March 26, 2015 |publisher=Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences|access-date=June 19, 2017|archive-date=June 2, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170602045819/https://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/1957|url-status=live}}
As a result, she was offered more substantial roles in such films as Man of a Thousand Faces (1957), a biopic of Lon Chaney with James Cagney and Tip on a Dead Jockey (1957) with Robert Taylor. Quantez (1957) was another "girl in a Western" part, supporting Fred MacMurray, but The Tarnished Angels (1957) reunited her successfully with Hudson, Sirk, Stack, and producer Albert Zugsmith. Malone was given the important role of Diana Barrymore in the biopic Too Much, Too Soon (1958), but the film was not a success.{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1957/08/21/archives/dorothy-malone-in-film-biography-oscar-winner-is-cast-as-diana.html|title=Dorothy Malone in Film Biography; 'Oscar' Winner Is Cast as Diana Barrymore|work=The New York Times|date= August 21, 1957|page=22|access-date=January 2, 2018}} (abstract; full article requires subscription) Malone appeared in Warlock (1959), but went back to guest starring on such television programs as Cimarron City ("A Respectable Girl", 1958) and Alcoa Theatre ("The Last Flight Out", 1960).

From 1964–1968, she played the lead role of Constance MacKenzie on the ABC primetime serial Peyton Place except for a brief stretch where she was absent due to surgery. Lola Albright filled in until her return. Malone agreed for $3,000 a week less than ABC's offer of $10,000 weekly, if she could be home nightly for 6 pm dinner with her two daughters and no shooting on weekends. "I never turned down a mother role", said Malone. "I like playing mothers. I started out as a very young girl in Hollywood doing Westerns, portraying a mother with a couple of kids."{{cite news|last=Peary|first= Gerald|author-link=Gerald Peary|date=April 5, 1985|title=No Place Like Peyton for Dorothy Malone|work=The Globe and Mail|location=Canada|id= {{ProQuest|386333455}}}} {{subscription required}}
In 1968, she was written out of the show after complaining that she was given little to do. Malone sued 20th Century Fox for $1.6 million for breach of contract; it was settled out of court.
