Biography

Born in Tennessee as Martha Lee Estes, Snowden was a movie actress and model who first gained attention on the Jack Benny TV show, strutting across the stage at the San Diego Naval base. Twenty thousand sailors gave the curvy, sweater-clad starlet a standing ovation that made headlines in "Variety," and the next morning, every talent scout in Hollywood was pursuing Snowden. Within three days, she was cast for her film debut in director Robert Aldrich's complex crime classic Kiss Me Deadly (1955), with Aldrich expanding her role and giving her featured billing. In January 1955, she signed a seven-year contract with Universal Studios, showcasing her Dixie drawl in their polished soap opera All That Heaven Allows (1955). Her other films include Francis in the Navy (1955), The Creature Walks Among Us (1956), and the Bridey Murphy-inspired I've Lived Before (1956). In September 1956, Snowden married Dick Contino, a renowned singer and accordion player, and retired from acting a few years later. She was the mother of five children from two marriages and passed away from cancer at the age of 51.
