My Take
Karen Morley fascinates me as a survivor of Hollywood's most turbulent transition. Born Mildred Linton in Ottumwa, Iowa, she went through Hollywood High, left UCLA for the stage and reached the screen during the golden age, in the early years of sound film. Reinventing herself under a new name, she essentially authored her own life, and lived past ninety, witnessing the full arc of cinema's light and shadow. I have a soft spot for performers of this era whose understated dignity gave early film its texture. To me she represents the dependable craft that quietly held those classics together.
