June Haver

Biography

June Haver was a singer, dancer and film actress whom 20th Century Fox promoted as a possible successor to Betty Grable. Born in Rock Island, Illinois, to an actress mother and a musician father, she won a Cincinnati Conservatory of Music contest as a child, became a radio child star and sang with bands led by Ted Fio Rito and Freddy Martin. She moved to Hollywood in 1942, was spotted on stage by a Fox scout and made an uncredited screen debut in The Gang's All Here (1943). Leading roles in musicals followed, among them The Dolly Sisters, Wake Up and Dream, Three Little Girls in Blue and Look for the Silver Lining, and she took top billing in the comedy Love Nest (1951), her only full-length black-and-white film. She largely retired from acting in the 1950s and later appeared as herself on television. A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame honors her film contribution.
