Gloria had IT. Ridiculous appeal. She's one of my faves.

She was made for film noir. I thought she was wonderful.

My fathers first wife was Louis B's executive secretary, Frances. Dad worked at RKO when Grahame showed up, She was much better looking than Monroe in person. All these women were neurotic as hell but Gloria was a sweetheart and liked by everyone. She was an artist from LA and superb actress but her upper lip was thin. The rest of her was perfect.
My mother and her were good friends in the 50's, you nailed this piece - no mistakes but for the refusal to accept her cancer. She was just tired of being bullied, an outcast in LA and was ready to die - Hollywood died before she did.
After the electro shock, she has not the same person. I never saw her after 1965 -    
In a lonely place is a masterpiece of post war realism, high art by all involved. She is way under appreciated as an actress -

😢 I loved her in both "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Oklahoma". ❤️

She was a beautiful lady whose life was one of hardship and sadness. May she find eternal peace.

Gloria was beauty/different. She deserved better.  RIP GLORIA !

I thought Gloria Grahame was great in "Oklahoma!" She played the part perfectly. "Oklahoma!" is an awesome musical.

One of the most versatile actresses Hollywood ever had.  She could literally play anything and she should have been a much bigger star.

Grahame's  cancer, first discovered in 1974, went into remission upon her cleaning-up her life-style. It returned 6yrs later.  Of course, she being only 57 when she died in 1981,  is a sad story, but staving off cancer for all those years was, nonetheless, a blessing.

she still looked good in '79 in Chilly Scenes of Winter ... it wasn't all bleak for Gloria, nor has she been forgotten.
Great actress!

I grew up watching her and I thought she was beautiful. She was a great Actress who made many great movies.

A typical Youtube clickbait title.  Gloria Graham won the Oscar 3 years after her husband supposedly came home early "ending her career".  Gloria Graham was a very good actress, and that's how she will be remembered.

Like many lady icons today have said, back then the studio - literally - owned you.  You weren't human.  You were property. All they cared about was how much money you made them.  Behavior of the men was covered up and buried as long as they made them money.  Their alcoholism, drug use, affairs, they were excused.  Women were ruined if they didn't comply.

I always thought her overbite and voice really attractive and her Oklahoma performance was endearing, nuanced and funny. A very interesting woman who seems to have been a really good actress with more range than she was allowed to display..

I worked with her when I was in college. She was extremely kind, and very generous with her knowledge.

A sad tale of a beautiful woman whose performance in "It's A Wonderful Life " was appreciated by me...R.I.P. Gloria Grahame

When A Wonderful Life first came, it was a box office flop. Three decades later, in 1976, is when it gained popularity as a Christmas classic.
Therefore, this movie DID NOT "shoot her to stardom."

during a movie showing at a noir film festival,  the moment her image hit the screen , the audience broke out in cheers and wild applause, briefly drowning out the dialogue .   I thought it a wonderful moment , a spontaneous tribute to a great star.

This woman was actually very strong. Good for her.

Gloria was an awesome actress.  Beautiful, too!  One of my favorites!  Loved Susan Hayward as well!
