This is an AUTHENTIC HAND SIGNED ORIGINAL Vintage 8"x 10" color photo of American retired actress and former Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer contract star ARLENE DAHL. Arlene Carol Dahl (born August 11, 1925) is an American retired actress and former Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer contract star, who achieved notability during the 1950s. She has three children, the eldest of whom is actor Lorenzo Lamas. She is one of the last surviving stars from the Classical Hollywood cinema era.

Dahl went to MGM to play a supporting role in The Bride Goes Wild (1948). She remained there to play the female lead in the Red Skelton comedy A Southern Yankee (1948). Eagle-Lion hired her to star as the female lead in Reign of Terror (1949), then at MGM she acted opposite Van Johnson in Scene of the Crime (1949), Robert Taylor in Ambush (1950), Joel McCrea in The Outriders (1950), Fred Astaire and Skelton in Three Little Words (1950) (playing Eileen Percy), and Skelton again in Watch the Birdie (1950).Except for The Outriders, all these movies were profitable for MGM.

MGM gave Dahl the lead in several "B" films, such as Inside Straight (1951) and No Questions Asked (1951), both of which flopped. Dahl was hired by Pine-Thomas Productions to a multipicture contract and she was put in Caribbean Gold (1952), a swashbuckler with John Payne. She went to Universal to co-star with Alan Ladd in a French Foreign Legion story, Desert Legion (1953); then Pine-Thomas used her again in Jamaica Run (1953) and Sangaree (1953). The latter starred Fernando Lamas, whom Dahl would marry.

She supported Bob Hope in the comedy Here Come the Girls (1953). Dahl and Lamas reunited on The Diamond Queen (1953) at Warner Bros.In 1953, Dahl played Roxanne on stage in a short-lived revival of Cyrano de Bergerac opposite Jose Ferrer. Dahl played the ambitious Carol Talbot in Woman's World (1954) at Fox, and she was Rock Hudson's leading lady in Universal's adventure war film Bengal Rifles (1954).
