Vintage b/w, 7¼x9½. © 1944 Universal Pictures. Actress/singer Deanna Durbin
(1921-2013) was Judy Garland's main film rival as an everyday girl
with a beautiful voice. In 1937, the revenue from her two hits, Three
Smart Girls and One Hundred Men and a Girl, saved Universal from
bankruptcy.In 1938, Durbin, who would appear in a number of films that
showcased her voice, was awarded a special Academy Award "for bringing to
the screen the spirit and personification of youth."In addition to her
acting, the soprano began recording for Decca as she was just turning 15.
Disillusioned with Hollywood, she retired from films and has lived in France
since 1950 with her third husband, Charles David, who directed her 1945 film
Lady on a Train. In the era of cable TV, however, her old films have
attracted a new following, and many of her original recordings have been
reissued. Lightly toned. Minor surface scratches. Ink note on verso (no show
through). Overall, fine condition.
