I ran into Van Johnson at my pulmonary doctor's office where I was being treated for asthma. This was decades ago around 2006, 2 years before his death. He was dressed dapper wearing a nice suit and an ascot. What touched my heart is that he was so flattered that an African American female 50+ years younger recognized him and had watched many of his films growing up in Brooklyn and still til this day I am a fan. Unexpectedly, Mr. Johnson kissed me on the cheek before we parted and it brought tears to my eyes, the importance of acknowledging elders and their impact on our lives. I will never forget how much we both smiled and looked at each other waving as he walked with his homecare assistant down Park Avenue.

Hi Age of Vintage, how are you going? June Allyson began her career in 1937 as a dancer, in short subject films, & on Broadway in 1938. The diminutive star was only 5ft 2in & weighed less than 100lbs. She signed with MGM in 1943, & rose to fame the following year in Two Girl's & a Sailor. Allysons girl next door image was solidified in the 1940s, when she was paired with actor Van Johnson in six films. In 1951 she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for her performance in Too Young To Kiss. From 1959 to 1961 she hosted & occasionally starred in her own anthology series The DuPont Show with June Allyson, which aired on CBS. Allyson played the tomboy Jo March in Little Women, which was a huge hit in 1949. She also starred in 1949 with Jimmy Stewart in The Stratton Story, which remained her favourite film. Allyson had a huge hit again with Jimmy Stewart in The Glenn Miller Story in 1954, & in 1955 Allyson was teamed again with Jimmy Stewart in Strategic Air Command, another success for the two of them. Allyson was married 4 times to three different men, she had two children with her first husband Dick Powell. In July 2006 she passed away from respiratory failure & bronchitis, she was 88 years old. RIP June Allyson, the diminutive star with the famous raspy voice. Love Love from Australia 🇦🇺💛💜🎬📽💖❤💞💙💚💕💕💕⚘⚘💋💋💋

What a shame she went through so much. Many of the early stars lost all their money to studios, managers or “life”partners. Ladies, take care of your own accounts.

Obviously you feel it was lying deceit of her feelings, or it just bugs your nature to or be around someone like that. The only reason I am replying to your comment is because I was for the first four decades of my life always smiling as I passed someone, stranger or not. Would try helping someone else that seemed to need it at school and at work. Most people are appriciative of this, but of course not everyone. Also, those that dislike or irritated by such behavior can be very vocal about it, as well as go out of their way to cause them trouble. Luckily I had my 3 children raised and through college before my decision to not smile at anyone unless they smile first or help anyone at work unless asked first. If I had been doing something wrong all my life, I would think a family member or close friend would have said so. From them I'd always recieved praise. Perhaps Ms Allyson and I had similar hard times in our past that can make you grateful by far when things and my and my families health are doing wel l......IDK, but not taking chances on strangers any more.

Another interesting part of June Allison's life story, which I wish you had mentioned, was where her and husband Dick Powell went in with a couple of others after leaving MGM, and started their own film and television production, Four Star Pictures. They made several TV shows, like The Rifleman, Wanted Dead or Alive, The Big Valley, as well as other shows. The productions continued past Powell's death into the mid-1970s, June herself being involved in the production. You may know more about this than I do. It could be another story by itself.

I applaud you for your common sense as I've never heard anyone but me describe movie stars as "movie heroes." They usually say hero, like an athlete, hero, singular, is reserved for heroes, not actors, baseball players, etc. You know someone who's done something heroic, I retired from the Navy and I never did anything heroic, neither did most of the sailors I came into contact with. So I'm even cringy on calling Military personnel heroes, UNLESS THEY DID SOMETHING HEROIC. Now when Military people are actually in harms way but nothing happens, that's a yea maybe heroic. Standards of the word hero is sooooo low, Tom Cruise is called a hero, are you kidding me? Now I would call actor James Stewart a hero, singular and needless to say, of course, Audie Murphy. But anyway I thank you for thinking, or I hope you were thinking how I'm thinking of a hero. BTW, I joined the Navy so as not to get drafted, but had I been, I wouldn't have been like a Springsteen or Joel.

The third marriage, to a doctor, who saved her from the disasterous marriage to the barber and cured her from alcoholism. It lasted 30yrs until she die in 2006.

O-Jai California? Ojai is a Spanish name like so many others in California so the "j" is pronounced like an "h" as in english. To be fair, the name is a Spanish spelling of the Chumash indian name: 'Awha'y ("Moon")

[@garyfrancis6193]

I missed that about Ojai but the narrator is a Brit. He also pronounced Candice Bergen as /Can-dees/. I guess he’s unfamiliar with her so pronounced it like “Candide” /Can-deed/. Many of these people don’t seem to research pronunciation of unfamiliar names though it’s easy on the internet. But he’d be all up and down on you if you pronouncced “Geenwich” as “Green Witch” instead of /Gren-itch/. They absolutely hate it when we foreigners pronounce their names wrong. I once had a tourist information woman on the phone in London refuse to give me directions to the city of Bath until I pronounced it /bawth/ like they do. Ojai /O-high/ BTW is also where Bill Paxton lived. There is a reason in Spanish they use the vocalic digraph “ai” here. It’s because they don’t have diphthongized vowels A, I, O as in English as a result of the Great Vowel Shift in Northern European languages from about 1350 to 1790 AD. Spanish seems to apply the /h/ sound to “j” and “x”. I don’t know why except that “j” is a relatively recent letter as of the 14th Century when William Tyndale used it in his first translation of the Bible into English. When it entered Spanish I don’t know. It may be that “j” and “x” in Spanish may sound the same to English speakers but “x” is more aspirated as in Mexico. It is Spanish trying to simulate Native American language such as “tsokolatl” which the natives drank became “chocolate”. In English /chok-lit/. In Spanish /chok-o-la-teh/. They use four syllables. English contracts it to two syllables following the “syncope rule” where the vowel after a stressed syllable is omitted. English stresses the first syllable while Spanish stresses the third syllable without syncope. These narrators could at least try to get the right pronunciation.

She was awarded $5,000. monthly from Powell and her money, later reduced to $2,500. monthly after marrying the second husband which was a disaster marriage but nevertheless she married him twice (what was she thinking?!)

Now on to more important point yes I'm agreed it's horrific how much more harder female Hollywood actors have to work then male counter parts for the same money then not then not to even see a cent of it is adding insult to injury and yes it's all very well to say control your finances as the ladies below but really it advice should go further to include get financially education in the first place or you might not see a cent of it to over spending or mismanagement. However I imagine if you where exceptionally shrewd with money they might have turn their hand at the business rather then acting then we'd have lost the talent for which we've take so for granted. I say talk to a seasoned professional in two areas lie detection expert and the developer of organization for best advice as to what to do with your fortune and make sure it's one you've subjected to lie detection to make sure they have your back yes I'm a enterprise developer by no strange coincidence lol. I do seem to notice while we love to paint Hollywood executives dark as sin more often then not I do notice that they do seem constantly to give great martial advice to starlets who never seem to take them and consequently rue the day in the divorce courts later down the track with abusive spouses. So therefore an adjunct to all these two advice never trust your heart when it comes to love your better off listening to those who have an unemotional point of view or better still not dip your pen in the company well Hollywood marriages notorious for not lasting anyways generally speaking.

Nice narration over a slideshow that repeats over and over. Next time you do a video make sure the video matches with what you are talking about.

It is very difficult to find quality images of certain eras that I can use in a video. Some images are so poor quality that it’s hard to tell what’s on it, but it also happens that there are no images of a particular thing at all. For a video, I use about 140 photos, but I’m already happy to find 80 usable photos of an actor/actress. I try my best, to make the videos better and better, but it's not something that always depends on me. I find it better, if I show random good pictures of someone, than nothing at all. I hope you understand and thank you for your feedback! 🙂

It seems the happy guy of all those 1930s musicals and singing career was a real miser even with June’s fortune was he the real penny-pincher.

[@suzyfarnham3165]

When Dick Powell died he left everything to June?? They were multi millionaires and she got it all.

[@Pittstopclippings]

Another video that just throws random photos in regardless of their relationship to the narration. How difficult is it to match each photo with the developing story? And then there’s ALWAYS the repeating of the same photos for no reason.

I always liked her but Katherine Hepburn was much better in the role of Jo in Little Women.

[@artwolff6659]

it's pronounced "oh hi", not "o ji"

SHE DOES'T TURN INTO THE PERSON SHE IS PORTRAYING LIKE DAVIS OR JOAN ECT....

[@tomjones2121]

I enjoy these back stories , so interesting , however the narrators voice , accent , and pronunciation is nothing less then intolerable

[@rexmyers991]

Never did explain where the money went. I wasted my time watching this.

[@Saucyakld]

It was banked by Dick and she was rich when he died. Misleading headline!

[@brentonl1746]

@@Saucyakld Actually the title is correct, her husband looked after all her money so she didn't really see it at all. Thanks.

[@Muirmaiden]

@@brentonl1746 But it says she lost it, which isn't true. He left his children money as well.

[@JacQues58]

You keep repeating a lot! And your info is out of sequence.

I hated her hair styles - made her look childish. 50's hair, in general, was horrible.

[@sofiabravo1994]

I love it 😻

[@asaintpi]

Poor girl was not even close to being pretty, and had to compete with Liz Taylor, Lana Turner and Ava Gardner ... that would have been very hard on her. She had talent but she was not really memorable, except in Little Women. Sad to think she was too dumb to know what to do with her own money and lost it all. Imagine having to sell diapers to pay her rent. Poor thing.

[@alfredbonnabel7022]

June Allyson was always my least favorite of all the leading ladies in the 40-50's. Her acting was minimal and pretty much the same. How they could remake The Women as s musical with her in Norma Shearer's role is a mystery to me. This video was like an MGM version of her story...so much left out for a better read on the character.

[@cindychristian1700]

The movie was called The Opposite Sex and I don't remember it being a musical! I remember there being men in the cast and that it was in color! I liked it but not as much as The Women! I always like June Allyson especially in her version of Joe in Little Women!! I missed The Shrike but I heard it was a really good movie!

[@alfredbonnabel7022]

I'd like to see The Shrike. I read once that she was promiscuous and MGM had a time with her keeping it quiet 🤫

[@MG-es2no]

I never understood why she was wearing either no nail polish or clear polish when she held up her hands to say "...jungle red........" when she decided to get her husband back. Never understood that. Liked the original better.
