FILM NOIR ACTRESS BORN ON THIS DATE IN 1910
Claire Trevor (March 8, 1910 – April 8, 2000) was an actress, nicknamed the "Queen of Film Noir" because of her many appearances in ”bad girl” roles in film noir and other black-and-white thrillers. She appeared in over 60 films. Trevor’s acting career spanned more than seven decades and included successes in stage, radio, television and film. She costarred with John Wayne, gaining her final Oscar nomination for The High and the Mighty in 1954 (picture from the film above).
Claire Trevor won her Supporting Oscar Award for playing the drunken mistress of
the cruel gangster (Edward G. Robinson, seen above) in the 1948 film Key Largo.
