Dana Wynter (1931–2011) was a German-born British actress who became a familiar face in Hollywood and television during the 1950s and ’60s. Born in Berlin and raised in England and Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), she studied medicine before turning to acting, eventually signing with 20th Century Fox.
Wynter is best remembered for her role as Becky Driscoll in the science-fiction classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), where her performance brought both warmth and quiet strength to the film’s suspenseful atmosphere. Throughout her career, she appeared in a wide range of films, including D-Day the Sixth of June (1956), Sink the Bismarck! (1960), and Airport (1970).
Beyond cinema, Wynter had a prolific career in American television, guest-starring in popular series such as The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Hawaii Five-O, and Magnum, P.I. Known for her elegance, intelligence, and poised screen presence, she left a lasting mark on mid-20th-century film and television.
