Audrey Dalton

Audrey Dalton (born 21 January, 1934 in Dublin, Irish Free State) is an Irish television and film actress.

Dublin-born Audrey Dalton knew right from childhood that she wanted to be an actress: She appeared in school plays and (after the family's move to London) attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.

While Dalton was at RADA, a London-based Paramount executive saw her in a play and asked her to audition for the upcoming film "The Girls of Pleasure Island" (1953).

Winning the part (and a Paramount contract), Dalton arrived in the U.S. in 1952 and co-starred in "Pleasure Island"; the studio loaned her out to 20th Century Fox for "My Cousin Rachel" (1952) and "Titanic" (1953).

Dalton later appeared in "The Monster That Challenged the World" (1957) and "Mr. Sardonicus" (1961), but was more successful on many of her TV guest appearances in the 1960s.

Her first husband was assistant director James Brown, who is the father of four children; she is now married to a retired engineer.
