As a result, she was offered more substantial roles in such films as "Man of a Thousand Faces" (1957), a biopic of Lon Chaney with James Cagney and "Tip on a Dead Jockey" (1957) with Robert Taylor. "Quantez" (1957) was another "girl in a Western" part, supporting Fred MacMurray, but "The Tarnished Angels" (1957) reunited her successfully with Hudson, Sirk, Stack, and producer Albert Zugsmith. Malone was given the important role of Diana Barrymore in the biopic "Too Much, Too Soon" (1958), but the film was not a success. Malone appeared in "Warlock" (1959), but went back to guest starring on such television programs as "Cimarron City" ("A Respectable Girl" (1958) and "Alcoa Theatre" ("The Last Flight Out" (1960). Malone made a third film with Stack, "The Last Voyage" (1960), and a third with Hudson, "The Last Sunset" (1961).
