Movie career


Guild was a University of Arizona freshman[3] when a Life magazine photographer noticed her. After the picture was published in a spread on campus fashions, five Hollywood studios screen-tested her, and she was signed by 20th Century Fox. The studio's publicity writers declared "Guild rhymes with wild!" when hyping her first film, Joseph L. Mankiewicz's Somewhere in the Night.[2]


On the rebound from an engagement with producer Edward Lasker, Guild married fellow Fox contract player Charles Russell in 1947. The following year, they appeared together in the musical Give My Regards to Broadway (1948). They had a daughter, Elizabeth, in 1949.[4]


She left Fox and appeared in movies as a freelance and at Universal Studios, where she appeared in an Abbott and Costello picture and the Francis the Talking Mule movie Francis Covers the Big Town (1953), her last picture.



Television


Guild was a panelist on the DuMont network's Where Was I? game show in 1952-1953.[5]



Personal life


Having divorced Russell in 1950,[citation needed] On August 16, 1951, Guild married the Broadway impresario Ernest H. Martin,[6] the producer of Guys and Dolls and later The Sound of Music and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. She appeared occasionally on television and briefly returned to the movies in Otto Preminger's Such Good Friends (1971).


In 1975, she divorced Martin and married photojournalist John Bryson in 1978. She divorced Bryson in 1995.



Death


On August 16, 1999, Guild died of emphysema in East Hampton, New York, aged 73.[7]
