Acting career

For two years, she played the ingenue lead in The Common Glory, an outdoor drama in Williamsburg, Virginia.[3]

For four years,[4] Conley portrayed Phyllis Anderson on the NBC-TV daytime drama Days of Our Lives.[2] She also provided the voice of Dolly Sue and Rudolph’s mother in the 1964 animated NBC-TV special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.[5]

Conley was a winner of the Canadian radio talent competition Opportunity Knocks.[5] Beginning in 1955, she was hostess of Open House, a daily program on CBC Television.[6] She played the female lead in CBC-TV's adaptation of the soap opera Search for Tomorrow.[7] Other Canadian TV programs on which she appeared included Playdate,[8] G. M. Presents,[9] and Portrait.[10] She also was heard on Crime Quiz on CBC Radio, and she made commercials for radio and TV.[11]

On Broadway, Conley portrayed Pearl Vambrance in Love and Libel (1960).[12] Her other stage experience includes productions of the National Classic Theatre (NCT) in New York,[3] which presented plays across the United States in colleges and high schools,[5] and The Mountain Playhouse, Beaver Lake, and Vineland Summer Theatre, all in Canada.[13] She also performed with the comedy duo Wayne and Shuster across Canada.[14]

In an interview with Saturday Morning Rewind in 2013, Conley admitted to having no memory of voicing Dolly for Sue during the production of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964), but remembers voicing Rudolph's mother.[15][16] She told the interviewer that the possibility of voicing Dolly is likely, but has no memory of it. According to several movie databases and websites, Corinne Conley is credited as Dolly for Sue and additional voices.[16]

In 2018, Conley defended the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer TV film against claims of bigotry and bullying.[17]

Personal life

Conley was born in New York and spent most of her youth in Radford, Virginia. After graduating from high school in Radford, she graduated from the University of Mary Washington in Virginia.[5]

Conley married Bonar Stuart, whom she met when both worked with the NCT.[5] They have two sons, Tony and Curtis.[18]
