- Dorothy Comingore (August 24, 1913 – December 30, 1971) was an American film actress, best known for her portrayal of Susan Alexander in Orson Welles's critically acclaimed movie Citizen Kane. From 1934 to 1940, Comingore was billed in her stage appearances as Kay Winters and then Linda Winters as film actress. Born Margaret Louise Comingore in Los Angeles, California, she was discovered by Charles Chaplin while she was performing in a small playhouse. She went on to play bit parts in Hollywood movies until Welles cast her as Susan, the fragile but fiery mistress of press tycoon Charles Foster Kane. Her performance is generally considered one of the best in the movie, but, according to Peter Bogdanovich in his DVD commentary on Citizen Kane, she crippled her subsequent career by turning down too many roles that she felt were uninteresting. She appeared in the film version of the Eugene O'Neill play The Hairy Ape with William Bendix, Susan Hayward, and John Loder. Her career ended in 1951, when she was caught up in the Hollywood blacklist after being called to appear before HUAC about her alleged Communist connections. She was married to screenwriters Richard J. Collins (b. 1914) and Theodore Strauss (1912-1989), and was married to John Crowe, who was not in the movie business, from 1958 to her death in 1971. Her last movie appearance was in a supporting role in The Big Night (1951) starring John Drew Barrymore. She struggled with alcoholism during her later life, and died from a pulmonary disease in Stonington, Connecticut, at the age of 58.

Comingore studeerde aan de Universiteit van Californië. Ze had al acteerervaring opgedaan in kleine theaters toen ze in het midden van de jaren dertig in films ging spelen. In het begin van haar carrière speelde ze onder het pseudoniem Linda Winters. Ze begon in korte filmkomedies van Columbia, gevolgd door verscheidene films van de Three Stooges, hoofdrolletjes in enkele B-westerns en enkele kleine filmrolletjes in grotere films, waaronder Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939). Ze was relatief onbekend toen Orson Welles haar castte voor de rol van Susan Alexander, de breekbare minnares van Charles Foster Kane, in zijn debuutfilm Citizen Kane (1941). Alhoewel haar acteerwerk in die film zeer goed werd ontvangen maakte ze na Citizen Kane slechts drie films. In 1951 kwam aan haar carrière een einde toen ze, ten tijde van de Rode Angst, door de House Committee on Un-American Activities op de zwarte lijst van Hollywood werd geplaatst. Ze stierf in 1971 op 58-jarige leeftijd.
