MINI BIO:
Cool, capable Dorothy Alison had a sympathetic, faintly motherly personality. A doll-like, dark-haired beauty in her early days, she came to England in 1949 and worked as a secretary until acting jobs became more frequent. Her career reached its zenith when she played Nurse Brace in Reach for the Sky. Thereafter, it declined somewhat into careworn roles, but she re-emerged in chirpier cameos in the 1980s.
