My Take
Frances Dee belongs to Hollywood's golden age, and her career rewards a second look. After debuting in 1930's Playboy of Paris, she appeared in An American Tragedy, Little Women, and Becky Sharp, but it is her turn in Val Lewton's 1943 psychological horror I Walked With a Zombie that keeps her name alive among film lovers. A Los Angeles native who studied at the University of Chicago, she carried an intelligence that suited her measured screen presence. She earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and lived to ninety-four. I find something reassuring in a star who endured the industry's noise with such quiet grace.
