Statuesque actress Marie Windsor was born Emily Marie Bertelsen in Marysvale, Utah, on December 11, 1919. Early on, she harbored an interest in acting,
taking lessons while still a youth. She went to college to study drama but left Brigham Young University in 1939 for California, to study with famed
Russian actress and drama coach Maria Ouspenskaya. Windsor, at 5'9", was also a Varga model. She nailed a contract with MGM in the early 1940s, but
the studio never gave her the build-up she deserved, for years casting her in small, sometimes uncredited, roles. She used her time to do considerable
radio and stage work. Windsor married bandleader Ted Steele in 1946, but the marriage quickly dissolved. 
Her first important role came in the 1948 film noir thriller Force of Evil; Windsor's tough on-screen persona naturally lent itself to certain
film genres, most notably film noir and westerns. From the late 1940s through the late 1950s, she starred in a succession of films, mostly film noir,
westerns, and some sci-fi/horror, sometimes making as many as eight films a year for a variety of studios. Some of her best-known films include
Cat-Women of the Moon (1953; with Sonny Tufts and Victor Jory), Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (1955; with
Bud Abbott and Lou Costello), Swamp Women (1955; with
Beverly Garland and Mike Connors), and The Killing (1956; with
Sterling Hayden and Coleen Gray).
