| Biography (TMDB): | Dolores Moran (January 27, 1924 – February 5, 1982) was an American film actress and model. Moran's brief career as a film actress began in 1942 with some uncredited roles in such films as Yankee Doodle Dandy. By 1943 she had become a popular pin-up girl and appeared on the cover of such magazines as Yank. She was given supporting roles in films such as Old Acquaintance (1943) with Bette Davis and Warner Bros. attempted to increase interest in her, promoting her along with Lauren Bacall as a new screen personality when they co-starred with Humphrey Bogart in To Have and Have Not (1944). The film made a star of Bacall, but Moran languished and her subsequent films did little to further her career, this probably had something to do with Howard Hawk's decision to marginalise Moran in order to boost the screen presence of Bacall, excising some of Moran's scenes. The Horn Blows at Midnight gave her a leading role with Jack Benny and Alexis Smith but her film appearances after this were sporadic, and she suffered ill health that reduced her ability to work. Her film career ended in 1954 with a featured role in the John Payne and Lizabeth Scott western film Silver Lode. She was married to the film producer Benedict E. Bogeaus in Salome, Arizona, in 1946. Their son, Brett Benedict, born August 30, 1948, in Hollywood, later became a successful businessman. They divorced in 1962, he died of a heart attack in 1968. Moran had an affair with director Howard Hawks while filming To Have and Have Not, which Hawks undertook mainly as revenge for his rejection by Bacall in favour of Bogart. In 1982, Dolores Moran died of cancer. She was survived by her son, sister, and mother.

Old Acquaintance

Davis smokes quite a bit throughout in her usual style. One scene of her also has Hopkins smoking from a holder, but Hopkins doesn't inhale. Second half of the movie has a lightup scene with Moran, which also includes an inhale and nice exhale. |
The Horn Blows at Midnight
|

One outdoor lightup scene, but it was good, with a deep inhale. She gives a thick, endless exhale (caught in the wind), and streams of smoke still come out of her nose when you think it's over. |
The Man I Love

Ida smokes in every scene she's in, but Dolores steals the show! She smokes in every scene, and there is one at a New Years' Eve bash in some Forties bar. She wears a black dress, and elbow length black gloves. She smoked at the bar, and looked sooo good! one of my favorites! |
