Film Actress Claire Trevor Dies By Martin Weil Washington
Post Staff Writer Sunday, April 9, 2000; Page C08
Claire Trevor, the sultry-voiced, blond actress who won fame,
followers and an Academy Award for her roles as a gritty,
good-hearted "woman with a past" in some of Hollywood's
best-remembered pictures, died yesterday in California.
The Associated Press quoted a family spokesman as saying that
she died at a hospital near her home in Newport Beach. No
cause of death was given. The spokesman gave her age as 90
but reference works have given it as 91.
Sometimes called the queen of "film noir," Miss Trevor won
her Oscar for best supporting actress in the 1948 film "Key
Largo."
In that picture, which paired Lauren Bacall and Humphrey
Bogart, she played a hard-drinking, much-abused former lounge
singer named Gaye Dawn, who was the girlfriend of mobster
Edward G. Robinson.</P>
