Gloria Grahame was an American film actress. Born Gloria Hallward in Los Angeles, California, her mother Jean Grahame was a stage actress & acting teacher who taught Gloria acting during her childhood & adolescence. She was signed to a contact with MGM Studios after Louis B Mayer saw her performing on Broadway. Changing her name to Gloria Grahame, she made her film debut in Blonde Fever & scored her most widely praised MGM role as the small town girl Violet, who is saved from a life of shame by George Bailey in Its A Wonderful Life. MGM was not able to develop her potential as a star & her contract was sold to RKO Studios in 1947. She received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress nomination for Crossfire & won the same award for The Bad & the Beautiful. Often regarded as a difficult actress, Grahames career began to wane after her role in Oklahoma!, although she continued to play supporting roles for the rest of her life in the United States & also in the United Kingdom, where she resided for many years.
