Grayson Hall (1922 – 1985). American television, film, and stage actress. She was widely regarded for her avant-garde theatrical performances from the 1960s to the 1980s. Hall was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and a Golden Globe Award for the John Huston film The Night of the Iguana (1964).
She played multiple prominent roles on the gothic soap opera Dark Shadows (1966–71), and appeared on One Life to Live (1982–83).
Hall was born Shirley Grossman, the only child of Eleanor and Joseph Grossman. Her father was from Latvia and her mother, who had acted in the Yiddish theatre, was from South Africa. Both were from Jewish immigrant families. In 1952, she married writer Sam Hall. She had always used the stage name Shirley Grayson, but Sam Hall called her Grayson, "like an old Army buddy," she said in an interview. She eventually adopted Grayson Hall as her professional name.
