Jane Powell Actress

People are always fascinated by the so-called golden age of musicals. Furthermore but it wasn’t all that great.  Then she has everything was glazed. Those movies didn’t reflect reality. She was at MGM for 11 years. Then and nobody ever let me play anything but teenagers. She was 25 years old with kids of my own. Then it was getting ridiculous. Publicity was froth.

Everything you said was monitored. With me, they didn’t have to worry. Powell had never had anything to say, anyway. She was hard work. Then She had no friends. no social interaction with people my age. the isolation was tough. But She had to support my family. Then She did what I was told and had no other choice.
