Dublin-born Audrey Dalton knew right from childhood that she wanted to be an actress: She appeared in school plays and (after the family's move to London) applied to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. While Dalton was at RADA, a London-based Paramount executive saw her in a play and asked her to audition for the upcoming film 桃源三凰 (1953). Winning the part (and a Paramount contract), Dalton arrived in the U.S. in 1952 and co-starred in "Pleasure Island"; the studio loaned her out to 20th Century-Fox for 浮生梦 (1952) and 铁达尼邮轮沉浸记 (1953). Dalton later freelanced, working in films and on TV. Her first husband was assistant director James H. Brown, who is the father of her four children; she is now married to a retired engineer.
Attended the Western Film Fair in Charlotte, NC, in 2003.
Schooled at the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Dublin before the family moved to London, England.
Divorced from TV executive assistant director James H. Brown after 24 years, she later married an engineer, Rod F. Simenz. Brown was once a UCLA college basketball player and the former couple met at a college party.
