She passed away in her sleep, according to her son, Richard Hall. In the wake of her first big role, opposite Kirk Douglas in Stanley Kramer's "Champion," which was a 1949 re-telling of a Ring Lardner short story of one of the most insane prizefighters, Warner Brothers gave her starring roles in nine films in less than two years. In one day she leaped from appearing alongside Bette Davis in ''Beyond the Forest'', to appearing alongside Milton Berle in ''Always Leave Them Laughing.'' The film she was in is a Different Day featuring Steve Cochran, a week after completing "Strangers on the Train.''
