The Dana We Remember

Re “Dana Andrews Dies; Actor Was Success but Not a Star” (Metro, Dec. 18): Long after the box-office champs of 1944 and their films have been forgotten, movie lovers will remember a detective sitting in a chair in a darkened apartment, nursing a drink and gazing at a portrait. A key turns in the lock . . . .

Farewell, Dana Andrews, actor and star.
