FOG BLOG ENTERTAINMENT LOG: ARLENE DAHL , ACTRESS FROM THE 1950S DIES AT 96!

Arlene Dahl, who shone in films of the 1950s, dies at 96...Arlene Dahl, the actor whose charm and striking red hair shone in such Technicolor movies of the 1950s as “Journey to the Center of the Earth" and “Three Little Words,” has died at age 96. Dahl's son, actor Lorenzo Lamas, said in posts on Facebook and Instagram that she died Monday morning in New York. No cause of death was given. "I will remember her laughter, her joy, her dignity as she navigated the challenges that she faced," Lamas said. “She truly was a force of nature.” In 1959's “Journey to the Center of the Earth,” an adaptation of Jules Verne's sci-fi classic, Dahl plays the widow of a scientist who joins co-stars James Mason and Pat Boone on a harrowing race to the earth's core. She sang and danced in 1950's “Three Little Words,” a musical biopic of songwriters Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby, playing Ruby's wife Eileen Percy opposite frequent co-star Red Skelton.
