PERSONAL INFO
She was educated at Barnard College, studied dance and worked on stage and TV before making her film debut as a sexy Southern majorette in Elia Kazan's "A Face in the Crowd" (1957).
She won an Academy Award nomination for her role as the alcoholic wife of Jack Lemmon in "Days of Wine and Roses" (1962).
She had 2 children.
Her role in "Anatomy of a Murder" (1959) was intended for Lana Turner, who got fired when she insisted that her off-the-rack costumes, (suitable for the part of an Army wife), be designed by splashy Jean Louis. Later, Remick was announced to replace Marilyn Monroe in the unfinished "Something's Got to Give", but loyal co-star Dean Martin demanded that the studio reinstate the fired Monroe.
She was a big TV star late in her career, most notably from her role in 'Mistral's Daughter.'
FINAL NOTE
'Versatile, stunningly beautiful actress with wavy blond hair and pale blue eyes, whose screen appeal stemmed from a prim, patrician bearing that barely concealed her sensuality.' - Leonard Maltin.
