TCM November 2024 at a Glance - Star of the Month; Gena Rowlands, Hedy Lamarr, Gig Young tributes; Monty Python night
STAR OF THE MONTH - RUTH ROMAN (Tuesdays)
Ruth Roman (born Norma Roman; December 22, 1922 – September 9, 1999)[3] was an American actress of film, stage, and television.
After playing stage roles on the East Coast, Roman moved to Hollywood to pursue a career in films. She appeared in several uncredited bit parts before she was cast as the leading lady in the Western Harmony Trail (1944) and in the title role in the serial film Jungle Queen (1945), her first credited film performances.
Roman first starred in the title role of Belle Starr's Daughter (1948). She achieved her first notable success with a role in The Window (1949) and a year later was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year – Actress for her performance in Champion (1949).[4] In the early 1950s, she was under contract to Warner Bros., where she starred in a variety of films, including the Alfred Hitchcock thriller Strangers on a Train (1951).
In the mid-1950s, after leaving Warner Bros., Roman continued to star in films and also began playing guest roles for television series. She also worked abroad and made films in England, Italy, and Spain. She was also a passenger aboard the SS Andrea Doria when it collided with another ship and sank in 1956. In 1959, she won the Sarah Siddons Award for her work in the play Two for the Seesaw. Her numerous television appearances earned her a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
