Gloria Grahame with her Oscar as Best Supporting Actress of 1952. Gloria Grahame as she appeared in MGM’s “The Cobweb” in 1955 and as she looks in 1972.

Seeing Gloria Grahame today is a strikingly pleasant experience. A real woman — at her peak! Most people seem to think she’s been in retirement — but she never did really retire . . . except to devote most of her time to her husband, Tony Ray, and her children. She just didn’t accept acting assignments that took her away from home for any lone period of time. But now, with her two youngest children (6 and 8 V 2 ) not needing full-time attention, she’s gearing up her career full-speed. She always wanted to be an actress and can’t remember ever wanting to do anything eise. She came by her early ambition quite naturally since her mother was English stage actress Jean Grahame who gave up her career when she married Michael Hallward, an American commercial and industrial designer.

It was a brief war-time marriage and they were divorced two years later. James Stewart, visiting the MGM
