Allen Defined a Gallon of Prettiness
.
How nice that Elizabeth Allen, after apparently slumming in "American Actresses ~ Vintage," has been assigned her own thread. That's what I'm gathering from the post directly above that has been entitled, "5th Post." By the way, are you noticing one of the members who gave thanks to that post above was Womwam? Are you further noticing the member behind the post was Cuzzyman927..? It seems both have taken a hike. Since these two valuable members were very committed and important fixtures of Vintage Erotica Forum, and while I know the way of the land around here is mostly cold and impersonal, I am sad to see they are no longer (at this time) providing their above-average input. Lobby card for DONOVAN'S REEF. At any rate, I wasn't supposed to be here, preparing (as I was) a post that led to another post, which led to an as-yet-unwritten post on Dorothy Lamour, in turn leading to digging up reference from one of her films called Donovan's Reef. So I landed upon the trailer for that 1963 film directed by John Ford (starring John Wayne and Lee Marvin), which you may watch here if you'd like, and there was a scene with a very sensational looking lady (whom the voice-over referred to as a "temptress") stripping down to her bathing suit, and I says to myself, I says, "Whozzat"? (See? She also got the attention of the two from the last shot. I wasn't the only one.) Checking out her IMDb filmography, I see Ms. Allen had appeared in over fifty titles, some of which I had naturally seen (she was in Cheyenne Autumn! Not that this film probably means anything to you, but in my mind, it was a "biggie"), without taking special note of the tantalizing actress. Aside from a mysterious entry for the soap opera The Guiding Light (which has no details as to how many episodes Ms. Allen appeared in), her screen career seems to have begun with The Jackie Gleason Show (before my time, but I see she made a mark as the "Away We Go" girl, what served as the catchphrase for the rotund comedian). She only appeared in five episodes in 1957, but the IMDb's record may be incomplete. (In fact, the obituary mentioned below claims she began the show in 1953.) One of the lady's most concentrated efforts was in the daytime soap Texas, where she appeared over two hundred times from 1980-1982. Since this was not a planned-on post, after now observing some of her other credits, I am regretting not having spent more time on putting it together. There is no overlooking the fact that Elizabeth Allen was a seriously beautiful woman. (Especially since she was also multi-talented, it's interesting to ponder: Why isn't she better known?) With visions of spanking Maureen O’Hara in that same year, the big lug lets the prim and proper lady understand who is the man between the two. When the Duke wants a woman, he just takes her, political correctness, as well as the laws, be damned. From her very short IMDb bio (and later from this obituary), I am learning the lady began as a fashion model with the Ford Modeling Agency, and she supported good causes such as Greenpeace and Save the Children. Ms. Allen was married only once at the age of twenty-four, to a nearly forty-year-old German baron, but the union ended in 1955. The tall beauty (at 5'9") began to run a dress store in the late 1970s, to compensate for acting dry spells. Her last screen role of consequence was in 1986, and she called it quits with emoting around 1995; she would live for another eleven years, until claimed by kidney failure. Remember this great first-season TWILIGHT ZONE episode (entitled "The After Hours")? A woman trapped in a department store (Anne Francis) gets very nervous, until it dawns on her that she may no longer be among the living. If you do, you probably wondered about who played the eerie but exceptionally lovely saleswoman who resembled a mannequin. For more, check out Wendigo's caps in Post #3 above. Elizabeth caught old pro Helen Hayes' eye while working as a costume designer for Hayes' repertory company, around the time of also appearing on the Gleason program. The New Jerseyite soon made a transition, leading to a prolific decades-long career on the stage. One of the two Broadway shows the lady received a Tony nomination for was Do I Hear a Waltz? (1965), which concerned an American secretary vacationing in Venice (while finding romance to be elusive). In the first photo above, Elizabeth was caught talking backstage at New York City's Eugene O'Neil Theatre, with playwright Arthur Laurents (left) and Italian actor-singer Sergio Franchi "during a rehearsal break." The next two photos are captures from this YouTube video giving tastes of the performer's lovely voice and form. To cap off, views of the actress in one of her later roles (at the age of fifty), as a cartoonishly venomous villainess who is paired with husband Robert Quarry (pictured above), both of whom were disfigured by Wilma (Erin Gray) in 1979's first season Buck Rogers in the 25th Century episode entitled, "Return of the Fighting 69th." The evil-doers intend to unleash deadly nerve gas on earth, and an ex-fighting squadron composed of old-timers (including Peter Graves and Woody Strode) are recruited to counter the threat. Liz has a robotic hand, making Erin suffer quite deliciously. (Sigh! Erin Gray... what a heartthrobber.) . Last edited by Findcandor; April 12th, 2024 at 09:03 AM.. |
