JANE POWELL

Jane Powell is an actress and singer from the 1940s to the 1980s. Some of her movies, including many MGM musicals, include: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Royal Wedding, Marie, A Date with Judy, and Two Weeks in Love. She broke into movies in an interesting way, as a teenager. She had been singing coloratura soprano on the radio when she was 14, and was given a chance to be in "Song of the Open Road" with W.C. Fields in 1944. I bet no one would have guessed she would go on to be a major musical star of the 1950s! As of 2021, she is still alive at the age of 92!
