Biography

Audrey Mary Totter (December 20, 1917 – December 12, 2013), was a captivating American actress celebrated for her compelling performances in film noir during the 1940s and 1950s. A former MGM contract star of Austrian-Slovene and Swedish descent, her distinct husky voice and magnetic presence made her a standout femme fatale in classics like "Lady in the Lake" and "The Postman Always Rings Twice." Totter's versatility extended beyond noir, showcasing her talent in various genres, including dramas and thrillers. Her ability to portray complex, strong-willed characters left an indelible mark on Hollywood.
