Dorothy Hart

The luminously beautiful Dorothy Hart in a newly restored tri-chrome sitting from March 1948. She was born in Cleveland, Ohio on April 4, 1922. A former model, Hart signed a contract with Columbia Pictures in 1946. Her first big movie break came, starring alongside Randolph Scott and Barbara Britton in the cinecolor Western, “Gunfighters” (1947). This was followed with “Larceny” (1948), and “The Countess of Monte Cristo” (also 1948). She co-starred in “The Naked City” (1948) and played the bad girl who double crosses her fiancé in “Undertow” (1949). Hart became the tenth actress to portray Jane when she appeared opposite Lex Barker as Tarzan in “Tarzan's Savage Fury” (1952). She also co-starred in “Outside the Wall” (1950) and “I Was a Communist for the FBI” (1951), playing a Communist schoolteacher who eventually repudiates the party. In 1952, Hart left acting to work with the American Association for the United Nations in New York. The organization's first female entertainer, she spoke at the United Nations and was an observer at the 1957-1958 meeting of the World Federation of United Nations in Geneva. Hart was twice married and divorced. The dazzling beauty passed away of Alzheimer's disease on July 11, 2004, in Asheville, North Carolina, at age 82.
