1930s and 40s film actress
Dorris Bowdon has passed away at the age of 83. She was married to screenwriter
Nunnally Johnson, who passed away in 1977. Bowdon appeared in seven movies in her lifetime. Three of them (
Drums Along the Mohawk,
Young Mr. Lincoln, and
The Grapes of Wrath) were directed by John Ford, though I suppose only two count since her scenes were removed from
Young Mr. Lincoln. Her most recognized role was that of Rose-of-Sharon in
The Grapes of Wrath. Bowdon got her start when a talent scout discovered her after she won the Miss Memphis title.
