 Claire Dodd - Biography - Moviefone
In films since 1930, Claire was for several years an employee of Warner Bros., where she played many a scheming seductress.
She projected a more likeable, down-to-earth image as Della Street in a brace of Warners' "Perry Mason" movies, The Case of the Curious Bride (1935) and The Case of the Lucky Legs (1936)--actually marrying lawyer Mason (Warren William) in the latter film.
Claire Dodd's last Hollywood years were spent at Universal Pictures in the early 1940s, where she played pleasant but colorless heroines; in one such assignment, Abbott and Costello's In the Navy (1941), Claire was reunited with her old Warners colleague Dick Powell.

Claire Dodd was Hollywood's "mystery girl" in the 1930s -a label she acquired because she was good at keeping her personal and professional lives separate.
Dodd was type-cast as the "other woman," a femme fatale, siren, seductress, mistress, flmailer or otherwise scheming blonde.
When Dodd had a baby, Jon Michael, during a vacation in 1937, many in the movie industry didn't realize she had been pregnant, let alone married.

 Anne Nagel
Her next serial was WINNERS OF THE WEST (Universal, 1940), in which she played Claire Hartford, the daughter of a railroad builder (Edward Keane).
Despite Anne's sterling service in her three previous cliffhangers, Universal never let her play the main heroine again; her last serial role for the studio was the part of Misty Gaye, the nurse girlfriend of Don Winslow's sidekick Red Pennington in DON WINSLOW OF THE NAVY (Universal, 1941).
Don Terry played Winslow, Kurt Katch was his arch-enemy, the evil Nazi agent known as the Scorpion and Claire Dodd was the major heroine, Mercedes Colby.

 Top WWII General's Secretary Donates Uniform to Harwich Exhibit :: Cape Cod Today :: Cape Cod News and Information
Claire Dodd, a longtime resident of Brewster, joined the Women’s Army Corps (WAC) in 1944, attracted by the then existing regulation that among the women’s services only the WACS could be assigned overseas.
Dodd was assigned to a pool of 20 WACS, who provided secretarial services for officers of the rank of Colonel or General and then tapped to serve General Bradley, one of the main field commanders of World War II and later promoted to a five-star general.
Dodd earned five battle stars, most unusual for a woman member of the military during the fierce fighting France.
