Career

Guild was a University of Arizona freshman[3] when a Life magazine photographer noticed her. After her picture was published in a spread on campus fashions, five Hollywood studios screen-tested her, and she was signed by 20th Century Fox. The studio's publicity writers declared "Guild rhymes with wild!" when hyping her first film, Joseph L. Mankiewicz's Somewhere in the Night.[2]

On the rebound from an engagement with producer Edward Lasker, Guild married fellow Fox contract player Charles Russell in 1947. The following year, they appeared together in the musical Give My Regards to Broadway (1948). They had a daughter, Elizabeth, in 1949.^{[citation needed]}

She left Fox and appeared in movies as a freelance and as a contract star at Universal-International, where she appeared in Little Egypt, Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man picture and the Francis the Talking Mule movie Francis Covers the Big Town (1953), her last picture.

Guild was a panelist on the DuMont network's Where Was I? game show in 1952-1953.[4] She appeared occasionally on television and briefly returned to the movies in Otto Preminger's Such Good Friends (1971).

Personal life

On August 16, 1951, Guild married Broadway impresario Ernest H. Martin.[5] In 1975, she divorced Martin and married photojournalist John Bryson in 1978. She divorced Bryson in 1995.^{[citation needed]}

Death

On August 16, 1999, Guild died of emphysema in East Hampton, New York, at the age of 73.[6]
