Claire Dodd
Biography
Claire Dodd was an American film actress who came to Hollywood by way of modeling in Los Angeles. Born in Baxter, Iowa, she grew up in several cities before landing in California around 1927, where she began auditioning for small film roles. A bit part in Eddie Cantor's Whoopee! led Florenz Ziegfeld to cast her in his Broadway musical Smiles, and she studied singing and dancing in New York before signing a five-year contract with Paramount Pictures. Darryl F. Zanuck later brought her to Warner Bros., where she appeared in more than sixty films between 1930 and 1942, usually as the other woman, a schemer or a femme fatale. She played Della Street opposite Warren William's Perry Mason in The Case of the Curious Bride (1935) and The Case of the Velvet Claws (1936). Late in her career she appeared in the Abbott and Costello comedy In the Navy (1941). She died in 1973.
