Dorothy M. Provine Day

Dorothy M. Provine Day, of Bainbridge Island, died April 25 at the Hospice of Kitsap County Care Center, in Bremerton. She was 75.

She was born on Jan. 20, 1935 in Deadwood, S.D. She appeared in many professional and amateur stage productions while attending the University of Washington. In Hollywood, she starred in “The Bonnie Parker Story” (1958) and “The 30 Foot Bride of Candy Rock” (1959), which was Lou Costello’s last screen appearance.

She guest starred on the unconventional western television series “Man Without a Gun,” starring Rex Reason. She starred in two series: The Alaskans with Roger Moore (1959-60) and as Pinky Pinkham in The Roaring Twenties (1960-1962).

Her most recognizable film role is in Stanley Kramer’s “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” (1963), where she played Emmeline Marcus Finch, the only main character not obsessed with finding the $350,000 that forms the premise. She also starred in “Good Neighbor Sam” (1964), “That Darn Cat” (1965), “Who’s Minding the Mint?” (1967) and “Kiss the Girls and Make Them Die” (1966).

Dorothy married director Robert Day in 1968 and retired from acting, eventually moving to Bainbridge.
