Jeanne Dante

actress

Jeanne Dante was born on Apr 18, 1923 in USA. Jeanne Dante's big-screen debut came with Four Days Wonder directed by Sidney Salkow in 1936. Jeanne Dante is known for Life with Elizabeth directed by Duke Goldstone, Betty White stars as Elizabeth and Del Moore as Alvin. The upcoming new movie Jeanne Dante plays is The FBI Story which will be released on Oct 01, 1959.

Blue-eyed, convent-educated child actress Jeanne Dante had a couple of minor hits on Broadway to her name, featured near the top of the bill in 'Brass Ankles' and 'Thunder on the Left'. Universal, therefore, snatched her up and brought her to Hollywood in the hope of having discovered another Deanna Durbin. Accordingly, Jeanne was given star billing in her screen debut Four Days Wonder (1936) as a 13-year detective fiction enthusiast who gets sucked into a real life mystery. A mildly humorous spoof, it was based on a story by Winnie-the-Pooh author A.A. Milne but due to its low budget failed to generate much interest at the box office. Also, as it turned out, Jeanne posed no threat to Deanna. Having subsided to bit parts, she ended up taking a long sabbatical from films and reemerged as an adult actress with MGM in 1951. Speaking parts were still not coming her way, however, and after a bit role in La police fédérale enquête (1959), she left show business forever.
