Audrey Dalton | 88 Years Old

Audrey Dalton signed on for Hollywood’s 1953 dramatization of the iconic maritime disaster. That happened four decades before James Cameron’s 1997 movie Titanic made waves.

Dalton knew she wanted to be an actress since she was a child, performing in school plays and applying to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art after her family relocated to London. A London-based Paramount executive spotted Dalton in a play and invited her to audition for the planned film The Girls of Pleasure Island while she was still at RADA. Dalton landed in the United States in 1952 and co-starred in Pleasure Island before being loaned out to 20th Century-Fox for My Cousin Rachel and Titanic. Later, Dalton earned credits in films and on TV.
