Jeanne Crain Tribute-Stardust
This video is dedicated to Jeanne Crain. She was born on May 25,1925 & died on Dec. 14,2003. She is one of my favorite actresses & my favorite movies of hers are "State Fair", "Apartment for Peggy", "Margie", "A Letter to Three Wives" , "Home in Indiana" & "Leave Her To Heaven". I just love her movies!!
Here is a mini biography of her life:
Jeanne Crain was born in Barstow, California, on May 25, 1925. The daughter of a high school English teacher and his wife, Jeanne was moved to Los Angeles not long after her birth after her father got another teaching position in that city. While in junior high school, Jeanne played the lead in a school production which set her on the path to acting. When she was in high school Jeanne was asked to take a screen test to appear in a film by Orson Welles. Unfortunately, she didn't get the part, but it did set her sights on being a movie actress.
After her high school career, Jeanne enrolled at UCLA to study drama. At the age of 18, Jeanne won a bit part in Fox Studio's film entitled The Gang's All Here (1943) and a small contract. Her next film saw Jeanne elevated to a more substantial part in Home in Indiana (1944) the following year, which was filmed in neighboring Kentucky. The movie was an unquestionable hit. On the strength of that box-office success, Jeanne was given a raise and star billing, as Maggie Preston, in the next film of 1944, In the Meantime, Darling (1944). Unfortunately, the critics not only roasted the film, but singled out Jeanne's performance in particular. She rebounded nicely in her last film of the year, Winged Victory (1944). The audiences loved it and the film was profitable.
In 1945, Jeanne was cast in State Fair (1945) as Margie Frake who travels to the fair and falls in love with a reporter played by Dana Andrews. Now, Jeanne got a bigger contract and more recognition. Later that year, Jeanne married Paul Brooks on New Year's Eve. Although her mother wasn't supportive of the marriage, the union has lasted to this day and produced seven children. Her 1947 was an off year for Jeanne as she took time off to bear the Brinkman's first child.
In 1949, Jeanne appeared in three films, A Letter to Three Wives (1949), The Fan (1949), and Pinky (1949). It was this latter film which garnered her an Oscar nomination as Best Actress for her role as Pinky Johnson, a nurse who sets up a clinic in the Deep South. She lost to Olivia de Havilland for The Heiress (1949). Jeanne left Fox after filming Vicki (1953) in 1953, with Jean Peters. She had made 23 films for the studio that started her career, but she needed a well-deserved change. As with any good artist, Jeanne wanted to expand her range instead of playing the girl-next-door types.
She went briefly to Warner Brothers for the filming of Duel in the Jungle (1954) in 1954. The film was lukewarm at best. Jeanne, then, signed a contract, that same year, with Universal Studios with promises of better, high profile roles. She went into production in the film Man Without a Star (1955) which was a hit with audiences and critics. After The Joker Is Wild (1957) in 1957, Jeanne took time off for her family and to appear in a few television programs. She returned, briefly, to film in Guns of the Timberland (1960) in 1960. The films were sporadic after that. In 1967, she appeared in a low-budget suspense yarn called Hot Rods to Hell (1967). Her final film was as Clara Shaw in 1972's Skyjacked (1972).
Jeanne died of a heart attack in Santa Barbara, California, on December 14, 2003. Her husband Paul Brooks had died two months earlier.
I hope you enjoy my video!!
God Bless!!

Sarah Vaughan - Pinky (1955)
"Pinky" is a 1949 song by Alfred Newman and also featured in the film by the same name. This American drama film is about a pretty, light-skinned, African-American nursing student passing for a Caucasian, adapted from the Cid Ricketts Sumner novel Quality by Philip Dunne and Dudley Nichols and directed by Elia Kazan. John Ford was originally hired to direct the film but was replaced after one week because producer Darryl F. Zanuck was unhappy with the dailies. Even though pale-skinned black actresses Lena Horne and Dorothy Dandridge were considered for the lead role, Zanuck cast a white actress, instead. Released by Twentieth Century Fox to both critical acclaim and controversy, the film starred Jeanne Crain, Ethel Barrymore, Ethel Waters, and Nina Mae McKinney.
The film enjoyed wide success in the southern United States, but was banned by the city of Marshall, Texas for its subject matter. There, W. L. Gelling managed the segregated Paramount Theater, where blacks were forced to sit in the balcony. Gelling booked Pinky for exhibition in February 1950, a year in which the First Amendment did not protect movies, per Mutual Film Corporation v. Industrial Commission of Ohio (1915).
The City Commission of Marshall "reactivated" the Board of Censors, established by a 1921 ordinance, and designated five new members who demanded the submission of the picture for approval. The board disapproved its showing, stating in writing its "unanimous opinion that the said film is prejudicial to the best interests of the citizens of the City of Marshall." Gelling nonetheless exhibited the film and was charged with a misdemeanor.
Three members of the Board of Censors testified that they objected to the picture because it depicts a white man retaining his love for a woman after learning that she is a Negro, a white man kissing and embracing a Negro woman, two white ruffians assaulting Pinky after she has told them she is colored. Gelling was convicted and fined $200. He appealed the conviction all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
After Gelling filed his appeal, the Court decided the landmark free speech case of Joseph Burstyn, Inc v. Wilson (1952) that extended First Amendment protection to films. The Court then overturned Gelling's conviction.
Pinky was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Jeanne Crain), Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Ethel Barrymore) and Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Ethel Waters).
This song was not featured in the movie Pinky but it would have been nice!

Sarah Vaughan - Pinky
This haunting, jazzy "vocalaise" (wordless) performance by Sarah Vaughan is of the title song from the 20th Century Fox film "Pinky". "Pinky" is a 1949 American drama about a pretty, light-skinned, African-American nursing student passing for a Caucasian. It starred Jeanne Crain, Ethel Barrymore and Ethel Waters. "Sassy" (which was Sarah's nickname) effortlessly soars up to the high notes and dives down to her lower register provocatively throughout the song. The blues-y 1951 arrangement by Percy Faith is perfection. While ofttimes Sarah Vaughan's tenure at Columbia was marginalized as not being one of the higher points in her career, this fine performance is proof of her artistry par excellence - which was constantly on display at any point in her career, and at any label for which she happened to record.

Stand By Me (Vinyl LP) - Ethel Waters,"His Eye Is On The Sparrow"
born Oct. 31, 1896/1900, Chester, Pa., U.S.—died Sept. 1, 1977, Chatsworth, Calif.) American blues and jazz singer and dramatic actress whose singing, based in the blues tradition, featured her full-bodied voice, wide range, and slow vibrato.
Waters grew up in extreme poverty and was married for the first time at the age of 12, while she was still attending convent school. At 13 she became a chambermaid in a Philadelphia hotel, and that same year she sang in public for the first time in a local nightclub. At 17, billing herself as "Sweet Mama Stringbean," Waters was singing professionally in Baltimore, Maryland. It was there that she became the first woman to sing the W.C. Handy classic "St. Louis Blues" on the stage. Her professional rise was rapid, and she moved to New York City. In 1925 she appeared at the Plantation Club in Harlem, and her performance there led to Broadway.
In 1927 Waters appeared in the all-black revue Africana, and thereafter she divided her time between the stage, nightclubs, and eventually movies. In 1930 she was on the Broadway stage again in Blackbirds, a revival of the popular 1924 musical, and the following year she starred in Rhapsody in Black. In 1933 Waters appeared with Marilyn Miller in Irving Berlin's musical As Thousands Cheer, her first departure from shows with all-black casts. Her rendition of "Heat Wave" in that show linked the song permanently to her. Considered one of the great blues singers, Waters also performed and recorded with such jazz greats as Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman. Several composers wrote songs especially for her, and she was particularly identified with "Dinah" and "Stormy Weather."
Waters's first straight dramatic role was in the 1938 production of DuBose and Dorothy Heyward's Mamba's Daughters. Two years later she spent a season on Broadway in the hit musical Cabin in the Sky, and she also appeared in the 1943 film version. Probably her greatest dramatic success was in the stage version of Carson McCullers's The Member of the Wedding in 1950, a performance for which she won the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award. She also starred in the movie version in 1953.
Among Waters's other films are Cairo (1942), Pinky (1949), and The Sound and the Fury (1959). Her autobiography, His Eye Is on the Sparrow (1951), was a best-seller. After the mid-1950s Waters worked in television and occasionally in nightclubs. In the 1960s she appeared frequently with Billy Graham in his evangelistic crusades.
