biography
Born in Mississippi in January 1909, Dana Andrews grew up in Texas in a large family headed by his minister father. He attended college in Texas but soon began drifting from job to job. Handsome enough to be a matinee idol, Andrews made his way to California during the early depths of the Depression to try acting. Taking on a series of odd jobs to support himself, Andrews also studied acting in his free time. He married a fellow hopeful actor, Janet Murray, in 1932 but their marriage ended tragically when Murray died just months after their son was born. Andrews continued trodding the boards in stage productions until he was put under contract by Samuel Goldwyn, who eventually sold half of Andrews' contract to 20th Century-Fox. Shortly after being signed to a contract, he remarried in 1939. Andrews acted in first film, William Wyler's The Westerner (1940; with Gary Cooper and Walter Brennan), in a supporting role. However, Lucky Cisco Kid (1940; with Cesar Romero and Mary Beth Hughes) was his first released film, and Andrews has a sizeable role in this B production. Due to his looks and excellent performances, Andrews moved out of B pictures quickly and was soon acting in such prestigious films as The Ox-Bow Incident (1943; with Henry Fonda and Mary Beth Hughes), Laura (1944; with Gene Tierney and Vincent Price), and State Fair (1945; with Jeanne Crain). However, probably his best film is the drama The Best Years of Our Lives (1946; with Myrna Loy and Fredric March). In addition, he helped his brother, actor Steve Forrest, get his acting career off the ground; the brothers appeared together in Crash Dive (1943; with Tyrone Power) and Sealed Cargo (1951; with Claude Rains), although Forrest appears uncredited in both films.
Most often cast in westerns, film noir, and dramas, Andrews' career began to slide in the 1950s, due in part to his struggle with alcoholism. In the late 1950s and into the 1960s, Andrews began an association with horror and science fiction films, including the notable releases Curse of the Demon (1957; with Peggy Cummins), The Satan Bug (1965; with George Maharis and Anne Francis), Crack in the World (1965; with Kieron Moore and Janette Scott), and The Frozen Dead (1966; with Karel Stepanek). He also began doing quite a lot of television during this part of his career, often appearing in anthology series such as Playhouse 90 and The Dick Powell Show. He also continued his long association with the Screen Actors Guild, serving SAG in many capacities, including a stint as president, from the late 1940s through the late 1960s.

later years
By the early 1970s, Andrews had won his battle with alcohol dependence and began doing public service announcements for The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, whose mission is to help counteract the stigma of alcoholism and other drug addictions and improve public awareness. Although less active than during his heydey in the 1940s and 1950s, Andrews continued acting in such films as Innocent Bystanders (1972; with Donald Pleasance) and Take a Hard Ride (1975; with Lee Van Cleef), in addition to more television work. By the mid 1980s, Andrews decided to retire from the screen. Sadly, in his last years, Andrews battled from Alzheimer's disease and passed away in December 1992 at the age of 83. He was survived by his wife, two daughters, and a son.
