Dorothy Malone, Oscar-Winning Actress Who Later Starred In TV's Peyton Place, R.I.P.

Dorothy Malone, the Chicago-born actress who won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress who later went on to star in the ABC Network's TV adaptation of Grace Metalious' novel  Peyton Place (1964-68), passed away on Friday at an assisted-living facility in Dallas at age 93.

Miss Malone won her Oscar for her portrayal of the incurably bad girl Marylee Hadley in the 1956 motion picture "Written on the Wind," starring alongside Rock Hudson, Lauren Bacall, and Robert Stack.

Starting in 1964, Dorothy portrayed the sexy-though-seemingly suppressed New England mother Constance McKenzie on the television series Peyton Place during that show's first four years.
