Suzanne Kaaren (March 21, 1912 in Brooklyn, New York – August 27, 2004) was an American B-movie actress who starred in stock film genres of the 1930s and 1940s: horror films, westerns, and romances.

Biography

She married stage and screen actor, Sidney Blackmer, on June 13, 1943, in a civil ceremony in Santa Ana, California. Raquel Torres was a witness at the wedding. Blackmer was married previously to Lenore Ulric.

By this time, Kaaren was under contract to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The marriage was a turbulent one from the outset. The couple separated in September 1943 and Blackmer instructed his attorney to file for divorce in October, but the couple remained together until Blackmer's death. The marriage produced two sons, Brewster and Jonathen.

Sidney Blackmer died in October 1973. The Blackmers had lived in his family home in Salisbury, North Carolina, until it was damaged by fire in 1984. Afterward, she resided in a rent-controlled Manhattan apartment at 100 Central Park South. According to her obituary, real estate developer Donald Trump bought the building and threatened to tear it down to build something more lucrative. Blackmer refused to budge, and, in 1998, a court ruled that Trump had to allow the rent-controlled tenants to remain.

Suzanne Kaaren died from pneumonia in Englewood, New Jersey, in 2004, aged 92.
