Cork Film Festival, Dawn Addams
Description
This is a black and white publicity photo of a young Dawn Addams posing on the metal handrails of a concrete staircase. Dressed in jeans with cowboy boots - her left leg stretched out on the handrail – she is shown looking over her left shoulder smiling for the camera.
Born Victoria Dawn Addams in England she spent her early life in Calcutta, India, after her Cork-born mother, Ethel Mary (née Hickie) passed away when she was a child. Her beauty and talent brought her to the attention of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios to whom she signed a seven-year contract in 1950. For the next two decades she worked incessantly in film and television including the MGM films Singin' in the Rain (Stanley Donen, Gene Kelly 1952), and the then-controversial The Moon is Blue (1953) which was directed by Otto Preminger who also came to the Cork festival.
