Shelley Winters (1920-2006)

biography

Born Shirley Schrift on August 18, 1920, in East St. Louis, Illinois, glamorous Shelley Winters grew up in New York and worked as a model. After taking acting lessions, she landed a studio contract with Columbia in the early 1940s, but the studio didn't give her the build-up she deserved. After leaving Columbia and continuing to work on her craft, the talented Winters began landing better roles in such films as A Double Life (1947; with Ronald Colman) and The Great Gatsby (1949; with Alan Ladd). In the late 1940s, she signed a long-term contract with Universal-International, where she starred in such westerns as Winchester '73 (1950; with James Stewart) and Frenchie (1951; with Joel McCrea).

Her best role during this period came when Universal loaned her out to Paramount for A Place in the Sun (1951; with Montgomery Clift); her performance as Alice Tripp netted her an Oscar nomination for best actress. Winters has won two best supporting Oscars for The Diary of Anne Frank (1959) and A Patch of Blue (1965); she was also nominated for best supporting actress for her role in The Poseidon Adventure (1972). With roles for older actresses being few and far between, by the late 1960s Winters kept busy in a string of low-budget pictures, including Wild in the Streets (1968; with Christopher Jones) and Bloody Mama (1970; with Don Stroud). In the 1970s and 1980s, Winters continued making B movies, with occasional A pictures thrown in as well. Some of my favorites from this period include Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? (1971; with Ralph Richardson), Cleopatra Jones (1973; with Tamara Dobson), Next Stop, Greenwich Village (1976; with Christopher Walken), and Tentacles (1977; with Henry Fonda).
