"An actress who combined ravishing beauty with cool sophistication, [Morison] was promoted as the 'Fire and Ice Girl' when she landed in Hollywood in the late 1930s. She appeared opposite some of the most popular stars of the era — from Spencer Tracy to Tarzan actor Johnny Weissmuller — but her career stalled from typecasting as a well-coiffed vamp. [She] did not emerge to public recognition until returning to her Broadway roots in 1948 to perform in Cole Porter's Kiss Me, Kate, which became one of the most popular stage musicals of all time."
