Timeline

2004

Profiled in "Killer Tomatoes: Fifteen Tough Film Dames" by Ray Hagen and Laura Wagner (McFarland, 2004).

2000

Trevor appeared in several of the nearly 2000 shorts cranked out by the studio between 1926 and 1930. Then she was sent west to do ten weeks of stock productions with other contract players in St. Louis.

1998

Made her last appearance at an Oscars telecast IN 1998 at the The 70th Annual Academy Awards (1998) as part of a tribute sequence called "Oscar's Family Album". She wore a black gown and jewels seated between Marisa Tomei and Jon Voight. Fellow honoree Michael Caine paid tribute to her calling her a 'living legend'.

1984

Was one of 4 Best Supporting Actress Oscar winners to have guest starred in Murder, She Wrote (1984). The others are Teresa Wright, Kim Hunter and Shirley Jones.

1982

Her final film role was as Sally Field's mother in Kiss Me Goodbye (1982). Trevor and her third husband, producer Milton H. Bren, had long been residents of tony Newport Beach, California, to which they returned when she finally retired from screen work. However, she did maintain an active interest in stage work, and became associated with the University of California-Irvine's School of Arts. She and her husband contributed some $10 million to further its development for the visual and performing arts (that included three endowed professorships).

1959

As she aged she easily transitioned into "distinguished matron" and mother roles, one of her most unusual ones being the murderous Ma Barker in The Untouchables: Ma Barker and Her Boys (1959), a notoriously gun-blasting episode of the notorious gun-blasting series.

1956

She won an Emmy for Best Live Television Performance by an Actress as the flighty wife of Fredric March in NBC's Producers' Showcase: Dodsworth (1956). She alternated her career among film, stage and TV roles.

1954

There were more quality movies and an additional Academy nomination (The High and the Mighty (1954)) into the 1950s,, but she also was doing work on stage and in television.

1950

She was enthusiastic about live TV and appeared on several famous shows by the mid-1950s.

1949

Was the 31st actress to receive an Academy Award; she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Key Largo (1948) at The 21st Academy Awards on March 24, 1949.

1948

However, she was something very different and quite extraordinary as washed-up, hopelessly alcoholic former nightclub singer and moll Gaye Dawn in Key Largo (1948), for which she won an Academy Award as Best Supporting Actress, again working with Bogart and Robinson. Her pitiful rendition of the torch song "Moanin' Low", which her character was forced to sing, humiliatingly, for the sadistic crime boss played by Robinson (to whom she is, figuratively speaking, permanently tethered) in exchange for a desperately needed drink.

1944

Grayle in the Philip Marlowe vehicle Murder, My Sweet (1944).

1943

Gave birth to her only child at age 33, a son Charles Cyclos Dunsmoore on December 1, 1943. Child's father was her 2nd ex-husband, Cyclos Dunsmoore but he was later adopted by her 3rd husband, Milton H. Bren. Her two stepsons were Peter Bren and real estate billionaire Donald Bren.

1942

She started in a big way as killer Ruth Dillon in Street of Chance (1942) with Burgess Meredith. She was equally convincing as the more complex but nonetheless two-faced Mrs.

1940

In the 1940s, Trevor began appearing in the genre that brought her to true stardom: "film noir".

1939

Director John Ford tapped her for his first big sound Western film, Stagecoach (1939), the film that made a star of John Wayne. All her abilities to bring complexity to a character showed in her kicked-around dance hall girl "Dallas", one of the great early female roles. She and Wayne were electric, and they were paired in three more films during their careers.

1938

Clitterhouse (1938).

1937

Hollywood finally took notice of her talents by nominating her for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her standout performance as a slum girl forced by poverty into prostitution in Dead End (1937), opposite Humphrey Bogart. That same year she did the radio drama "Big Town" with Edward G. Robinson, then teamed with he and Bogart again for the slightly hokey but entertaining The Amazing Dr.

1935

Many of her early films were "B" potboilers, but she worked with Spencer Tracy on several occasions, notably Dante's Inferno (1935).

1933

Trevor moved to the silver screen, debuting in the western Life in the Raw (1933).

1932

Finally, she debuted on Broadway in 1932 in "Whistling in the Dark".

1931

In 1931 she did summer stock with the Hampton Players in Southampton, Long Island.

1930

Her professional stage debut came with Robert Henderson's Repertory Players in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1930. That same year, aged 20, she signed with Warner Bros. Not too far from her home haunts was Vitagraph Studios in Brooklyn, the last and best of the early sound process studios, which had been acquired by Warner Bros.

There would be three more films (one more western) that year and six or more through the 1930s. Although she had been typed playing gun molls and hard-case women of the world, she displayed her already considerable versatility in these early films, often playing competent, take-charge professional women as well as "shady" ladies. There was a disappointed-pout-vulnerability in her face and that famous slightly New York-burred voice that cracked with a little cry when heightened by emotion that quickly revealed an unusual and sensitive performer.

1929

Alumna of the AADA (American Academy of Dramatic Arts), Class of 1929.

1925

in 1925 to become Vitaphone.
