Dorothy Morris (born February 23, 1922) is an American film and television actress known for her "girl next door" persona. Morris was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of a Methodist minister. She studied acting under famed drama teacher Maria Ouspenskaya. She did a screen test for the female lead in The Courtship of Andy Hardy (1942), but lost to Donna Reed. Morris was signed to an MGM contract in 1942. For one of her early film roles, Cry 'Havoc' (1943), she affected a British accent. The highlight of her career, however, was in 1945 when she starred as Ingeborg Jensen in Our Vines Have Tender Grapes. Other screen roles included Someone to Remember (1943), The Human Comedy (1943), Rationing (1944) and None Shall Escape (1944).
