Dusty Anderson on AllMovie

Columbia Pictures hired this stunning redhead as a threat to Rita Hayworth and the former Harry Conover model did turn up in several of Hayworth's early hits, including Cover Girl (1944; as "Miss Farm Journal" no less), and Tonight and Every Night (1945). Like all of Harry Cohn's starlets, Anderson did her fair share of B-pictures, including a stint in the music Western Singing on the Trail (1946), where she performs Hayworth's pièce de résistance "Put the Blame on Mame"," but retired in 1950 to marry director Jean Negulesco. She was listed as lyricist/costume designer on the screen credits to Negulesco's European-lensed Jessica (1962).
