Maggie McNamara

Highest Rated: 60% Three Coins in the Fountain (1954)

Lowest Rated: 44% The Moon Is Blue (1953)

Birthday: Jun 18, 1928

Birthplace: New York, New York, USA

A petite brunette, McNamara was part of the 1950s vogue for slender gamines (Audrey Hepburn, Leslie Caron, Shirley MacLaine) which stood at the opposite extreme from the equally popular voluptuous sex goddesses (Marilyn Monroe, Jane Russell, Jayne Mansfield). Less chic than Hepburn, less wistful than Caron and less rowdy than MacLaine, she had a perky, determined quality not unlike Debbie Reynolds. Unlike all of the above, however, McNamara enjoyed only a partial and brief success, partly undone by a history of mental illness.
