Mary Ellen "Mala" Powers (December 20, 1931 – June 11, 2007) was an American film actress.
Couple Profile
The daughter of a United Press executive, Mala Powers attended the Max Reinhardt Junior Workshop as a kid and fell in love with acting the first time she set foot on a stage. She made her film debut in Universal`s 1942 Tough As They Come (1942) before actress Helen Thimig (Max Reinhardt`s wife) convinced her to continue studying rather than become a child actress. Powers worked in radio ("Cisco Kid", "Red Ryder", "This Is Your F.B.I.", "Lux Radio Theater", "Screen Guild on the Air") and met actress Ida Lupino while working on the latter show; Lupino auditioned and approved Powers for the top role in Outrage (1950/I), made by Lupino`s Filmmakers production company. Powers` promising career was derailed by illness in the early `50s; when she resumed work, it was as the "B queen" of Westerns and sci-fi flicks (and much TV). For many years she has been lecturing on and teaching the Michael Chekhov acting technique throughout the U.S.
