'''Arlene Carol Dahl''' (August 11, 1925 – November 29, 2021) was an American actress active in films from the late 1940s. Born in Minnesota to parents of Norwegian descent, Dahl started her acting career in musicals before transitioning to film, where she gained significant roles in [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer|MGM]] productions such as ''[[My Wild Irish Rose]]'' (1947) and ''[[The Bride Goes Wild]]'' (1948). She also starred in adventure films, notably ''[[Caribbean Gold]]'' (1952) and ''[[Desert Legion]]'' (1953). 

Dahl was also an entrepreneur, founding two companies, Arlene Dahl Enterprises and Dahlia, a fragrance company. Despite her acting success, she faced financial challenges, declaring bankruptcy in 1981. She then entered the field of [[astrology]], writing a syndicated column and operating a premium phoneline company. She also wrote numerous books on beauty and astrology.

In her personal life, Dahl had six husbands, including actors [[Lex Barker]] and [[Fernando Lamas]], and was the mother to three children, the eldest of whom is actor [[Lorenzo Lamas]]. She lived between New York City and West Palm Beach, Florida, until her death in 2021.
