Mini Biography

Amazing, dark-haired ’40s and ’50s leading woman Margia Dean was the girl of the Greek attorney. Her parents shifted from Athens to the united states in 1913, quite a few years before her delivery on Apr 7, 1922, in Chicago, Illinois. The youngest of three women, she was christened Marguerite Louise Skliris. Her family members moved to SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA when she was 4 years of age and by age group 7 she was an operating celebrity whose stage credits included Small Eva in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” Mytyl in “The Blue Parrot” and Becky Thatcher in “Tom Sawyer.” Like a juvenile performer she won skill scholarships for both Reginald Travers Repertory Business as well as the Henry Duffy Players businesses, with age 15 won a country wide Shakespearean performance competition. Margia was raised to become stunning beauty and started appearing in several pageants that could eventually attract the interest of Hollywood. She earned the game titles of “Miss SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA” and “Miss California,” which resulted in a first-prize skill in the “Miss America” competition. In 1944 the 22-year-old hopeful produced her film debut at Republic Photos but had not been authorized to a contract. She continued to freelance in other areas for both main (Columbia, MGM, Fox) and small (Monogram, PRC) studios, where solid focus remained on her behalf shapely number. She made small impression until earning her 1st leading part in Shep RETURNS (1948) co-starring Robert Lowery for Display Guild. Finally making co-star billing, albeit on the second-string level, she became a lot more noticeable in her movies, which included Crimson Desert (1949), The Lonesome Path (1955), Villa!! (1958) as well as the cult classics The Quatermass Xperiment (1955), 7 Ladies from Hell (1961) and (her last) Moro Witch Doctor (1964). At exactly the same time she made an appearance in myriad Television and theatre productions, and involved within an enviable jet-setting sociable existence with escorts that included Prince Aly Khan. Frustrations occur, however, while the obviously talented celebrity found out herself almost exclusively bonded in the “B” film rates where she could even now attract audiences like a temptress or villainess. While she sometimes graced an “A” picture–including Surviving in a Big Method (1947) starring Gene Kelly, Look after My LITTTLE LADY (1951) with Jeanne Crain and Mitzi Gaynor as well as the Revolt of Mamie Stover (1956) starring Jane Russell–her tasks were usually smaller sized in proportions. Although she admittedly got on several roles which were beneath her skill to be able to settle the bills, a few of her better performing appearances actually arrived later on in her profession, notably THE TRICK of the Crimson Reef (1960) with Peter Falk as well as the Big Display (1961) starring Esther Williams and Cliff Robertson. In following years Margia extended her interests to add producing at the same time when few women could break right into such a male-dominated field. She was the professional producer from the traditional western The Long Rope (1961) starring Hugh Marlowe. She was also associate maker on several minor ’60s movies made in Britain and created a Television pilot. In 1965 she wedded second spouse Felipe Alvarez, an architect by trade, whose personal creative shops included painting, composing, photography, acoustic guitar and voice, and finally left the business enterprise. Margia continued to be the vice-president of a significant real estate company, a Beverly Hillsides restaurateur and a Brentwood gown shop owner. Gladly wedded to Alvarez for 40+ years, the few offers retired blissfully towards the Southern California region. The still-vivacious octogenarian is definitely glimpsed every once in awhile at film celebrations and nostalgia conventions. Got some more lucky breaks plus some better profession decisions arrive her way, there is absolutely no telling the type of “A”-level levels beautiful Margia Dean may have gained. Still, she continues to be a practical and amusing footnote in Hollywood’s previous.
