My Take
Arlene Dahl belongs to that vanishing breed of golden-age Hollywood stars who refused to be just a pretty face. Born in 1925 in Minneapolis to Norwegian-descended parents, she lit up MGM pictures from the late 1940s, earning a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But what I admire is the second and third acts: she became a syndicated columnist and an entrepreneur, building a name beyond the screen. She lived to 96, reinventing herself again and again. To me she embodies the resilience of that era's leading women, glamorous on camera yet shrewd and self-directed once the lights went down.
