More about Cindy Garner: Dorothy Elizabeth Garner (1926 - January 2, 2002) was an American actress and model. Garner married a military man and moved to California, where he was stationed. Working as a cigarette girl at Ciro's nightclub, she was discovered by film executive Henry Willson. In 1943, she was introduced as a new member of the Goldwyn Girls dancing troupe. She did well enough in a bit part in David O. Selznick's film Since You Went Away that she was put under contract with his Vanguard Films in 1944. She signed a long-term contract with Universal-International in 1951, but the studio later ended it. Garner's other films included One Sunday Afternoon (1948), Flame of Araby (1951), and Red Ball Express (1952).As a result of her modeling, Garner's picture appeared on magazines distributed nationally, including Pic, Hit, Yank. Esquire, Modern Romance, and Modern Screen. She also was featured in pictures accompanying a Popular Photography article, Pin-ups or Trip-ups, in 1945. Garner was also active in visiting veterans' hospitals and making personal appearances on bond tours.After Universal-International terminated Garner's contract and she and her husband separated, she had a nervous breakdown. She and her daughter moved to separate sites in North Carolina. Garner went to her mother's home, and the daughter lived with a relative. Garner never recovered from her mental health problems despite stays in hospitals and treatments that included electroshock therapy and a lobotomy.Biography: Wikipedia
