nakano Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 1 hour ago, Peebs said: 3. Makes a brief memorable appearance in The Big Sleep as the "Acme Book Shop Proprietress." She and Bogart have great chemistry in that scene. It was another Dorothy, Dorothy Malone but they shared something: Dorothy McGuire In April of 2002, Dorothy's family was hurt and disappointed after Dorothy's name was unwittingly omitted by the Motion Picture Academy from the "In Memoriam" tribute of the March 2002 telecast. The demure, classy Dorothy, who had died within the calendar year and was nominated once for an Oscar for Gentleman's Agreement(1947), was one of those talented stars who avoided the sensationalism of stardom. The Academy explained that it was NOT an oversight or a slight, but that they have room only for 15-20 names in a single tribute. However, left unexplained was why they managed to include lesser film personalities such as Aalyah Dorothy Malone: Passed away on January 19th 2018, but was not remembered in the 90th Academy Awards In Memoriam segment, despite being a Best Supporting Actress Oscar winner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
