Dahl’s noir credits vegan with REIGN OF TERROR in 1949 and included SCENE OF THE CRIME (1949), INSIDE STRAIGHT (1951), NO QUESTIONS ASKED (1951), SLIGHTLY SCARLET (1956), WICKED AS THEY COME (1956/UK), SHE PLAYED WITH FIRE (1957/UK).
She also played Ilsa Lund in Lux Video Theatre’s 1955 TV adaptation of CASABLANCA, opposite Paul Douglas as Rick Blaine (!) and Carl Esmond as Victor Laszlo.
Her turn in SLIGHLY SCARLET in tandem with fellow wanton redhead Rhonda Fleming is one of the truly unique moments in American film noir. RIP Ms. Dahl!
