Biography

American actress and 16-year-old former model whose wholesome and innocent looks won her the title of Miss Long Beach in 1941. When she was spotted by film executive Darryl F. Zanuck, it led to a movie contract with 20th Century Fox. She made a debut in 1943, leading to starring roles in the '50s. By the '60s her career began to fade. She stared in such movies as "State Fair" and "Apartment For Peggy." She is best known for her role in the 1949 film "Pinky," for which she received an Oscar nomination.

On 12/31/1945, she married businessman Paul Brinkman and they had seven children. After raising her family, Crain returned to films in character parts. Her last role was in the 1967 film, "Divorce American Style" and she was last seen on screen playing the role of a frightened passenger in "Skyjacked".

The red-haired beauty died of a heart attack at her Santa Monica home early in the morning of December 14, 2003.
