Dolores Moran height - How tall is Dolores Moran?

According to Laura Wagner in her short article on Moran in "Films of the Golden Age" (Winter Issue, 2012-2013), Dolores had a large supporting role as Madame Hellene de Bursac in the Humphrey Bogart / Lauren Bacall film To Have and Have Not (1944), but her part was downsized and Bacall's role was beefed up--this despite the fact that she was having an affair with the film's married director, Howard Hawks.

The turbulent marriage of Dolores and Benedict finally came to an end in 1962.

Sadly, in 1952, Bogeaus' former wife committed suicide.

Her film career sagged after that as her Svengali-like husband insisted she appear strictly in his pictures from Johnny One-Eye (1950) and Count the Hours! (1953) to her last role as a burlesque queen in Silver Lode (1954), often giving her roles that showed off her "bad girl" image. In between she appeared on TV: "Dangerous Assignment," "My Hero" and Mr. & Mrs. North".

Had one son, Brett Benedict Bogeaus (DOB: August 30, 1948) who later became a successful businessman.

Dolores first worked with her producer/husband in the film Christmas Eve (1947).

Bogeaus divorced his wife and married Moran in late 1946. Two years later Dolores bore him a son.

Secondary roles followed for Moran with Too Young to Know (1945) and the film noir The Man I Love (1946).

She achieved a bit of distinction, or perhaps distraction, in a couple of larger roles -- Bette Davis and Miriam Hopkins' tearjerker Old Acquaintance (1943), Bogie and Bacall's To Have and Have Not (1944), and Jack Benny's The Horn Blows at Midnight (1945). Moran's reputation of having affairs with married film heavyweights had already preceded her by the time the 22-year-old began dating 42-year-old producer Benedict Bogeaus, who was married to starlet Mimi Forsythe at the time.

Beginning in 1942, she would start out as set decoration (including Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942)) and would typically be utilized in small, decorative film parts.

Better known for her scandalous private life than for her mild film input, the story goes that blonde, extremely well-endowed Dolores Moran was checked out at an annual Sacramento Elks Lodge picnic in 1941 by a Warner Brothers talent scout in the early 40s and a starlet was born.

Born in Stockton, California in 1926, this bombshell looker, a one-time drive-in car hop, had started collecting beauty titles as a teen ("Queen of the Butte County Fair") by the time the major studio took notice of her and signed her up. The studio immediately promoted the darker-haired-now-platinum blonde as a WWII pin-up and her cover-girl appearances on magazines became a favorite with GI soldiers.
