Biography
Gloria Dickson (born Thais Alalia Dickerson; August 13, 1917 – April 10, 1945) was an American stage and screen actress of the 1930s and 1940s.
In April 1936, as she worked in a production of the Federal Theatre Project, she was spotted by Warner Bros. talent scout Max Arnow, who signed her to a contract. Her film debut in 1937's They Won't Forget landed her on the top of Hollywood's short list of important up-and-comers, a distinction that garnered her enormous publicity. In Autumn 1937, she was on many magazine covers and was the subject of several major movie magazine articles, with titles such as The Luckiest Girl in the World and New Star of the Year.
