Born Doris Jensen in Staplehurst, Nebraska, on October 23, 1922, gorgeous Coleen Gray grew up on a Minnesota farm. She planned to be a
school teacher upon graduating from Hamline College in 1943, but instead headed to southern California. Gray settled in Los Angeles
and was spotted for films in a play, signing a seven-year contract with 20th Century Fox. Her early film appearances were uncredited,
beginning with the Betty Grable vehicle Pin-Up Girl (1944). Always bringing an overwhelming intensity to dramatic roles, she
was cast in a starring role, her first credited film appearance, in the film noir thriller Kiss of Death (1947; with Victor Mature
and Brian Donlevy). She followed up with another excellent noir, Nightmare Alley (1947; with
Tyrone Power and Helen Walker) and the western Fury at Furnace Creek
(1948; with Victor Mature and Glenn Langan). Despite strong performances, Gray's career languished at Fox, making a few films on loanout
and acting in the Technicolor western Sand (1949; with Mark Stevens and Rory Calhoun).
