Jeanne Crain
Jeanne Crain was born in Barstow, California, on May 25, 1925. The daughter of a high school English
teacher and his wife, Jeanne was moved to Los Angeles not long after her birth after her father got
another teaching position in that city. While in junior high school, Jeanne played the lead in a school
production which set her on the path to acting. When she was in high school Jeanne was asked to take a
screen test to appear in a film by Orson Welles. Unfortunately, she didn't get the part, but it did set
her sights on being a movie actress.
After her high school career, Jeanne enrolled at UCLA to study drama. At the age of 18, Jeanne won a bit part
in Fox Studio's film entitled "The Gang's All Here" (1943) and a small contract. Her next film saw Jeanne elevated
to a more substantial part in "Home in Indiana" (1944) the following year, which was filmed in neighboring Kentucky.
The movie was an unquestionable hit. On the strength of that box-office success, Jeanne was given a raise and star
billing, as Maggie Preston, in the next film of 1944, "In the Meantime, Darling" (1944). Unfortunately, the critics
not only roasted the film, but singled out Jeanne's performance in particular. She rebounded nicely in her last film
of the year, "Winged Victory" (1944). The audiences loved it and the film was profitable.
In 1945, Jeanne was cast in "State Fair" (1945) as Margie Frake who travels to the fair and falls in love with a reporter
played by Dana Andrews. Now, Jeanne got a bigger contract and more recognition. Later that year, Jeanne married Paul
Brooks on New Year's Eve. Although her mother wasn't supportive of the marriage, the union has lasted to this day and
produced seven children. Her 1947 was an off year for Jeanne as she took time off to bear the Brinkman's first child.
In 1949, Jeanne appeared in three films, "A Letter to Three Wives" (1949), "The Fan" (1949), and "Pinky" (1949). It was
this latter film which garnered her an Oscar nomination as Best Actress for her role as Pinky Johnson, a nurse who sets
up a clinic in the Deep South. She lost to Olivia de Havilland for "The Heiress" (1949). Jeanne left Fox after filming "Vicki"
(1953) in 1953, with Jean Peters. She had made 23 films for the studio that started her career, but she needed a well-deserved
change. As with any good artist, Jeanne wanted to expand her range instead of playing the girl-next-door types.
She went briefly to Warner Brothers for the filming of "Duel in the Jungle" in 1954. The film was lukewarm at best.
Jeanne, then, signed a contract, that same year, with Universal Studios with promises of better, high profile roles. She went
into production in the film "Man Without a Star" (1955) which was a hit with audiences and critics. After "The Joker Is Wild" in
1957, Jeanne took time off for her family and to appear in a few television programs. She returned, briefly, to film in "Guns of
the Timberland" in 1960. The films were sporadic after that. In 1967, she appeared in a low-budget suspense yarn called
"Hot Rods to Hell" (1967). Her final film was as Clara Shaw in 1972's "Skyjacked".
Jeanne died of a heart attack in Santa Barbara, California, on December 14, 2003. Her husband Paul Brooks had died two months earlier.
TRIVIA:
Measurements: 34B-24-34 (measured by "Life" magazine, 1944), 36 1/2B-24-36 (filming Gentlemen Marry Brunettes (1955)), (Source: Celebrity Sleuth magazine)
