There she incurred the jealousy of Marilyn Monroe, who was reluctant to share the screen with another blonde, and wanted Hope Lange's hair to be dyed brown. After The True Story of Jesse James (1957) in which she appeared with Robert Wagner, Hope Lange took the part of Selena in Peyton Place, for which she was nominated as Best Supporting Actress for both a Golden Globe and an Academy Award.Bolstered by this success, the following year she provided the love interest for Montgomery Clift in The Young Lions, in which Marlon Brando also appeared, and in 1959 she starred opposite Joan Crawford, as Caroline Bender in The Best of Everything. But the initial dazzle which had surrounded her screen career had begun to dim; though she was seldom out of work, she was thereafter relegated to the second rank of stars.In 1961, she played Irene Sperry, a psychiatrist treating Elvis Presley's character in Wild in the Country. The film - as was usual with Elvis's excursions on to the big screen - did not overtax the critical faculties of the audience, but proved to be one of the singer's more distinguished outings as an actor. Particularly notable was a scene in which Elvis and Tuesday Weld, having over-indulged in Uncle Ralph's tonic, turned a garden hose on Mrs Sperry's house.Her other films during the 1960s ( Pocketful of Miracles; Love is a Ball; Jigsaw) were an unremarkable lot, but she had a better reception for her work on the small screen. In 1962 she played Roxanne in a television production of Cyrano de Bergerac and in 1968 landed the part of Caroline Muir in The Ghost and Mrs Muir. The weekly programme earned her two Emmy awards, and in 1971, she went on to take what she described as a 'thankless supportive housewife role' in The New Dick Van Dyke Show.She may have understated her value.
When, in 1974, she refused to sign up for a fourth series, having been annoyed by CBS's reaction to a scene which daringly hinted that her character and her husband (Van Dyke) had marital relations, the show was cancelled.In 1974, she received some of her best reviews for her role as Charles Bronson's wife in the first of the Death Wish films; a vigilante series directed by Michael Winner. These accolades had to be balanced against the fact that she was raped and mugged in the first few minutes of the film, and survived in a coma only until the end of the first reel.She returned occasionally to the stage, notably in Same Time, Next Year (1977) and in The Best Man (1987); on screen, she took parts in David Lynch's Blue Velvet (in 1986, playing Laura Dern's mother), the second of the Nightmare on Elm Street Films (1985) and as a senator in Clear and Present Danger (1994). Her last appearances were in Just Cause (1995) and, on television, in Before He Wakes (1998).Hope Lange, who died on Friday, married, first, in 1956, Don Murray, who had appeared with her in Bus Stop. They had a son, the actor Christopher Murray, and a daughter, Patricia. The marriage was dissolved in 1961 and she married, secondly, in 1963, the film director Alan J Pakula. That marriage ended in 1971 and she married, in 1986, the theatre producer Charles Hollerith. He, and the children of her first marriage, survive her.
