career
Magazine Article inscribed signed: "To Charles/Best wishes/Gloria
Jean" above b/w, photograph, 8½x11, in star, 4p, 6½x5½. Headed:
"Gloria Jean - Super Star", and from Inside Redken. In 1939, Universal
studios, searching for a possible successor to their juvenile singing star,
Deanna Durbin, cast actress Gloria Jean (born 1926 as Gloria Jean
Schoonover) 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. Slightly soiled at upper background of photograph. Fine
condition.
