Alexis Smith (born Margaret Alexis Fitzsimmons-Smith, 1921 – 1993). Canadian-born American actress and singer. She appeared in several major Hollywood films in the 1940s and had a notable career on Broadway in the 1970s, winning a Tony Award in 1972 for the Stephen Sondheim-James Goldman musical Follies.
One of her first uncredited roles was in the film Lady with Red Hair, about the life of Mrs. Leslie Carter. Her first credited role was in the feature film Dive Bomber (1941), playing the female lead opposite Errol Flynn. It was a "decorative" part but the film was very successful. Warners decided to build her up as a star.
She worked with most important Hollywood actors, such as Ann Sheridan, Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, Eleanor Parker and even Ronald Reagan.
- "She was subsequently billed as "The Dynamite Girl" for her red hair color." https://bobs.net/pages/hall-of-fame-alexis-smith
