Audrey Totter height - How tall is Audrey Totter?

On August 6, 2018, she was honored with a day of her film work during the TCM Summer Under The Stars.

In August 2013, she moved out of the Motion Picture and Television Hospital to live with her daughter and family in West Hills, California.

From June 2004 until August 2013, she lived at the Motion Picture and Television Hospital, Woodland Hills, Califonia.

Turned down the role of Old Rose in Titanic (1997) wanting to remain in retirement.

" Her husband died in 1996.

The 70-year-old Totter retired after a 1987 guest role on "Murder, She Wrote.

She played Nurse Wilcox, a recurring role, for four seasons (1972-1976).

After a period of semi-retirement, she came back to TV to replace Jayne Meadows in the popular television series Medical Center (1969) starring Chad Everett and James Daly.

TV gave her career a slight boost in the 1960s and 1970s, including regular roles in Cimarron City (1958) and Our Man Higgins (1962) as a suburban mom opposite Stanley Holloway's British butler.

Audrey's tough-talking dames were no longer a commodity and MGM soon dropped her in 1951. She signed for a time with Columbia Pictures and 20th Century Fox as well but her era had come and gone. Film offers began to evaporate. At around this time she married Leo Fred, a doctor, and instead began focusing on marriage and family.

The 1950s film scene softened considerably and MGM began focusing on family-styled comedy and drama.

In The Unsuspected (1947), she cemented her dubious reputation in "B" noir as a trampy, gold-digging niece married to alcoholic Hurd Hatfield.

She then went on a truly enviable roll with High Wall (1947), as a psychiatrist to patient Robert Taylor, The Saxon Charm (1948) with Montgomery (again) and Susan Hayward, Alias Nick Beal (1949) as a loosely-moraled "Girl Friday" to Ray Milland, the boxing film The Set-Up (1949) as the beleaguered wife of washed-up boxer Robert Ryan, Any Number Can Play (1949) with Clark Gable and as a two-timing spouse in Tension (1949) with Richard Basehart. Although the studio groomed Audrey to become a top star, it was not to be. Perhaps because she was too good at being bad.

Audrey played one of her rare pure-heart roles in The Cockeyed Miracle (1946). At this point she began to establish herself in the exciting "film noir" market.

Among the certified classics she participated in were The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946) in which she had a small role as John Garfield's blonde floozie pick-up.

Things brightened up considerably with Lady in the Lake (1946) co-starring Robert Montgomery as detective Philip Marlowe. The film was not well received and is now better remembered for its interesting subjective camera technique. Audrey's first hit as a femme fatale co-star came on loanout to Warner Bros.

Still appearing on radio (including the sitcom "Meet Millie"), she made her film bow as, of course, a "bad girl" in Main Street After Dark (1945).

That same year the studio usurped her vocal talents to torment poor Phyllis Thaxter in Bewitched (1945).

Her voice was prominent again as an unseen phone operator in Ziegfeld Follies (1945).

" MGM developed an interest in her and put her on its payroll in 1944.

In the late 1940s, made a television commercial for Lustre Creme's shampoo campaign.

One is certainly hard-pressed to think of another true "bad girl" representative so closely identifiable with film noir than hard-looking blonde actress Audrey Totter. While she remained a "B"-tier actress for most her career, she was an "A" quality actress and one of filmdom's most intriguing ladies. She always managed to set herself apart even in the most standard of programming. Born to an Austrian father and Swedish mother on December 20, 1917, in Joliet, Illinois, she treaded lightly on stage ("The Copperhead," "My Sister Eileen") and initially earned notice on the Chicago and New York radio airwaves in the late 1930s before "going Hollywood.
