Photograph inscribed and signed: "To Paul/+ Eileen/Sincerely/Gloria/Jean", in blue ink,B/w
3½x4½. In 1939, Universal studios, searching for a possible successor to their juvenile singing
star, Deanna Durbin, cast actress Gloria Jean (1926-2018) 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 the actress made 39 films, mostly in the 1940s and
1950s, including Never Give a Sucker an Even Break (1941) with W.C. Fields, 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 also made occasional guest appearances on television, including roles on Death Valley
Days (1954) and Annie Oakley (1955), before retiring from acting in 1961. Corners slightly
worn. Fine condition.
