June Lang
Biography
June Lang was an American film actress who started out as a dancer in Los Angeles theaters after training at a dance school, having moved there from her native Minneapolis as a child. She made her screen debut in 1931, and her early years at Fox Film brought minor parts in musicals and dramas before she worked her way into second leads, mostly in B movies. Fox loaned her to Hal Roach Studios for her final picture under contract, then declined to renew it, but a meeting with producer Darryl F. Zanuck led to the romantic lead in Captain January (1936). Leading roles followed, among them the Laurel and Hardy comedy Bonnie Scotland (1935), The Road to Glory (1936), and Wee Willie Winkie (1937), in which she played Joyce Williams for director John Ford. She died in 2005.
