Durbin, Deanna
Deanna (Edna Mae) Durbin was born on December 4, 1921 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. In 1936, at the age of 14, Durbin signed a contract with MGM. Her first movie with MGM was Every Sunday with Judy Garland. After being dropped from her MGM contract she signed with Universal Pictures, appearing in Three Smart Girls and One Hundred Men and a Girl, the latter of which saved the studio from bankruptcy. She appeared in That Certain Age, Mad About Magic, and Three Smart Girls Grow Up, and shared the Academy Award's 1939 Juvenile Award with Mickey Rooney. She appeared in over twenty films, but abruptly retired in 1948, at the age of 27.
