About Nancy Malone

Nancy Malone (born Ann Josefa Maloney; March 19, 1935 – May 8, 2014) was an American television actress from the 1950s to 1970s, who later moved into producing and directing in the 1980s and 1990s. == Early life and career == Born in Queens Village, New York City, Malone was one of at least three children born to longshoreman James Maloney and Winnifred Shields, an Irish immigrant from Crossmaglen, County Armagh. Her mother gave her the middle name, Josefa, because her birthday happened to fall on March 19, Saint Joseph's Day. The 1930-1940 census records show she had two older brothers, Roger C(harles) and James F(rancis). Malone first achieved fame as a child model working with the John Robert Powers Agency, most notably on November 25, 1946, when, at age 11, she appeared on the cover of Life magazine's 10th anniversary issue. == Television == Malone appeared in a number of programs in the early days of television, including I Remember Mama, Robert Montgomery Presents, and Suspense. She played Libby on the television series Naked City from 1960 to 1963. During the same period, she played Robin Lang Bowden Fletcher on the daytime soap opera Guiding Light. She guest-starred as Kathy in a 1963 episode of 77 Sunset Strip, "Deposit with Caution". She subsequently played Clara Varner on the television series The Long Hot Summer, which ran for one season on ABC, and appeared in The Outer Limits episode "Fun and Games" and The Twilight Zone episode "Stopover in a Quiet Town".
