- Ann Dvorak (August 2, 1911 – December 10, 1979) was an American film actress. She was born Anna McKim in New York City, and as a child appeared in several films. The only child of two vaudevillians, young Anna was raised in the business that would later make her a star (or at the least, a respected leading lady). Her father, Edwin McKim worked as a director for the Lubin Studios, and her mother, Anna Lehr, would find success as the star of many silent features. The couple split when Ann was four, and she and her mother moved to Hollywood. Ann would not see her father again until a national appeal to the press reunited the two in 1934. She began working for MGM in the late 1920s as a dance instructor and gradually began to appear on film as a chorus girl. Her friend Joan Crawford introduced her to Howard Hughes, who groomed her as a dramatic actress and she was a success in such pre-Code films as Scarface (1932), as Paul Muni's sister, as the doomed unstable "Vivian" in Three on a Match (1932), with Joan Blondell and Bette Davis, Love Is a Racket (1932), and opposite Spencer Tracy in Sky Devils (1932). Known for her style and elegance, she was a popular leading lady for Warner Brothers during the 1930s, and appeared in numerous contemporary romances and melodramas. A dispute over her pay (she discovered she was making the same amount of money as the little boy who played her son in Three on a Match) led to her finishing out her contract on permanent suspension, and then working as a freelancer, but although she worked regularly, the quality of her scripts declined sharply. She appeared as secretary Della Street in 1937's vehicle for Donald Woods as Perry Mason, The Case of the Stuttering Bishop. She also acted on Broadway. With her then-husband, British actor Leslie Fenton, Dvorak travelled to England where she supported the war effort by working as an ambulance driver, and worked in several British films. She retired from the screen in 1951, when she married her 3rd (and last) husband, Nicholas Wade, to whom she remained married until his death in 1977. It was her longest and most successful marriage. She had no children by any of her marriages.
- Ann Dvorak eigentlich Anna McKim war eine US-amerikanische Schauspielerin. Ann Dvorak war die Tochter von Stummfilmstar Anna Lehr, die sie bereits im Alter von 4 Jahren in Filmen auftreten ließ. Ihre Mutter schaffte den Sprung zum Tonfilm nicht, dagegen begann ihre Tochter mit dem Beginn des Tonfilms als Tanztrainerin für die frühen Musicals von MGM zu arbeiten und erschien in diesen Musicals als Tänzerin in der Gruppe. Ihre erste Rolle erhielt sie dann 1932 bei Warner Brothers und gleich ihr zweiter Film machte sie zum Star: Scarface an der Seite von Paul Muni. Im gleichen Jahr heiratete sie den britischen Schauspieler Leslie Fenton, mit dem sie Hollywood in Richtung England verließ. Ihrer Karriere geriet dadurch ins Stocken und sie verabschiedete sich 1951 von der Leinwand. Sie ließ sich zu diesem Zeitpunkt gerade von ihrem zweitem Ehemann Igor Dega, einem russischen Schauspieler, scheiden und heiratete ihren dritten Ehemann, mit dem sie bis zu ihrem Tod verheiratet war und in privater Zurückgezogenheit lebte.
