Alix Talton
Biography
Alix Talton was an American actress who came to Hollywood by way of modeling and the stage. Born in Atlanta, she trained in singing and dancing as a child, and after moving to New York City she worked for the John Robert Powers modeling agency. Her first show business job was singing in the American Jubilee revue at the 1939 New York World's Fair, and summer stock and a Miami nightclub engagement followed before producer Bryan Foy cast her in several films. Warner Bros. signed her in 1941, where she played small uncredited parts and performed with the Navy Blues Sextet. She later left Hollywood to build her stage skills and returned in 1949, settling into a freelance career as a character actress. Her films included In a Lonely Place (1950), The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) and The Deadly Mantis (1957). On television she played two neighbors in My Favorite Husband from 1953 to 1955.

First role
Alix Talton began her career singing with a group in the American Jubilee at the 1939 New York World's Fair. She then joined a troupe in Brattleboro, Vermont, acting there when the following summer stock season came.
Big break
Lou Walters hired Talton for his Miami night club, a job she called her biggest single step forward in show business, and producer Bryan Foy spotted her there and cast her in his films for two years.
A change of course
Talton did not stay long at Warners since she believed she needed more acting training. She went to work in stage plays after leaving Hollywood, and came back to motion pictures once she felt sure of her abilities.
A change of course
After moving to New York City, Talton modeled for the John Robert Powers agency. There she earned the nickname "the Omar Kiam girl" from posing so often for that dress designer.
