Katherine Marlowe (born Kathryn Irene Rea; May 25, 1914 – January 2, 2010) was an American film actress in the 1930s, most notably in Dodsworth, which starred Walter Huston, Mary Astor and Ruth Chatterton. Other films included Bridal Grief, Artists and Models and China Passage.
Marlowe's career was interrupted in 1943 when a dog bit her, causing injuries that she said would mean being unable to work in films for at least six months. She sued the dog's owner for $31,425 in damages.[1]
Marlowe died at the age of 95 in Tampa, Florida after a long period of ill health.
