Actor Born: October 7, 1926 in Los Angeles, CA Death: December 18, 1971 in Los Angeles, CA Biography:Born Dolores Loehr, she was a musical prodigy who played piano professionally by age ten; her first film appearance was at age 12, as one of a group of students performing classical music in the background of "They Shall Have Music" (1939). In her next film, another music-oriented production, she played piano and got a few lines of dialogue, following which she adopted her screen name and signed a long-term contract with Paramount. She underwent intensive drama coaching, then made a big impression as a precocious teenager in "The Major and the Minor" (1942) with "Ginger Rogers". She played a number of juvenile roles; as she aged, however, she had less luck with adult leads, and appeared in a succession of standard ingenue roles. By the mid '50s she effected a successful transition from movies to TV and the stage, being especially busy as a TV actress. She died of a stroke at 45. ~ All Movie Guide
