JANE POWELL

Jane Powell started singing at an early age. She traveled all the way to Oregon to sell victory bonds and rose to fame in the mid-1940s when playing different roles in various Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musicals. She had various supporting roles in different musical shows like A Date with Judy, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, and Royal Wedding. However, in the late 1950s, her film career slowed down. Powell then transitioned to the theatre, performing in various touring shows and two Broadway productions.

Throughout her life, she had to contact multiple lawyers until she met her fifth husband, Dickie Moore, who was also a former child star. The couple relocated in 1985 to New York City and Wilton, Connecticut, where she was occasionally active in local theatre. Jane is now 91 years old, and thanks to her talent, she has made major contributions to the entertainment world after doing so much throughout her career.
