Jane Bryan (1918-2009) |
|
- Anne Shirley, Saturday’s Children, 1940. Jane was all set to play Bobby opposite James Stewart - when her boyfriend, future industrialist Justin Dart Jr popped the question. She agreed and immediately retired... remaining friendly with ex-co-star Ronald Reagan. (Gosh, thank you, guys!). Indeed, the Darts persuaded him into politics. Olivie de Havilland preferred suspension to the role. John Garfield replaced Stewart but refused a fourth film with Priscilla Lane. And when a never-named noviciate was dropped after two days, Shirley saved the day.
