GLORIA JEAN
Black and white publicity still of Jean and W. C. Fields from the
1941 film, Never Give a Sucker an Even Break
Photograph inscribed and signed: "To Susan/Gloria/Jean". B/w,
10x8. Shown as W.C. Fields' niece in a scene from the 1941 film, Never
Give a Sucker an Even Break. In 1939, Universal studios, searching for a
possible successor to their juvenile singing star Deanna Durbin, cast child
actress Gloria Jean in The Under-Pup, an inexpensive comedy-drama set in
an Interlochen-style musical camp. The film was a hit, and Jean was signed to a
Universal contract. Although Jean made more than 39 films, her career was not as
carefully monitored as Durbin's; allegedly, the studio had problems dealing with
Jean's mother, and surreptitiously punished her by sticking her daughter in
second-rate roles. Jean later made occasional guest appearances on television
before retiring from acting in 1961. Fine condition.
