Glamour Girls of the Silver Screen: Janis Paige
|
|
Born Donna Mae Tjaden in Tacoma, Washington, on September 16, 1922, actress and singer Janis Paige left home at 18 and moved to Los Angeles,
where she soon found work at the famed Hollywood Canteen as a singer. As many Warner Bros. contract players, including Bette Davis, were highly
involved in entertaining at the Hollywood Canteen, Paige was quickly noticed by a producer and was soon signed to a contract with the studio.
Initially, Warner Bros. put Paige in a number of second feature comedies and musicals, including Two Guys from Milwaukee (1946; with
Dennis Morgan and Jack Carson) and The Time, the Place and the Girl (1946; with Dennis Morgan and Jack Carson). By the late 1940s,
she moved up to bigger pictures such as the Technicolor musical Romance on the High Seas (1948; with Jack Carson and Doris Day). But
Warner Bros. was not known for musical productions, so Paige soon found herself back in routine programmers, such as the noirish The House
Across the Street (1949; with Wayne Morris and Bruce Bennett) and This Side of the Law (1950; with
Viveca Lindfors). By 1951, unhappy with her film career and her first marriage to restauranteur Frank Martinelli, whom she wed in 1947, Paige
shed both and left for New York.
