Audrey Dalton

- Soundtrack
Dublin-born Audrey Dalton knew right from childhood that she wanted to
be an actress: She appeared in school plays and (after the family's
move to London) applied to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. While
Dalton was at RADA, a London-based Paramount executive saw her in a
play and asked her to audition for the upcoming film
The Girls of Pleasure Island (1953).
Winning the part (and a Paramount contract), Dalton arrived in the U.S.
in 1952 and co-starred in "Pleasure Island"; the studio loaned her out
to 20th Century-Fox for
My Cousin Rachel (1952) and
Titanic (1953). Dalton later freelanced,
working in films and on TV. Her first husband was assistant director
James H. Brown, who is the father
of her four children; she is now married to a retired engineer.
