Jill Clayburgh (born April 30, 1944) is an American actress. Her collaboration with Welles, Journey Into Fear (1942), was her last major Hollywood film. An affair with Orson Welles was reported to have been the cause of her divorce from Gibbons in 1941. With the advent of talkies she was usually relegated to exotic and unimportant roles, but scored successes with Flying Down to Rio (the film that launched the careers of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in 1933) and Madame DuBarry (1934). In 1930, she married Cedric Gibbons, one of MGM's leading art directors and production designers. She came to be admired as one of the most beautiful women on screen, and her career flourished until the end of the silent era. She was selected as one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars in 1926, but initially struggled to overcome prejudice. The marriage ended in divorce but del Río retained her married name, continued to pursue a career as an actress, and made her first film appearance in 1925. In 1921 she married Jaime del Río, and through a Hollywood friend the couple emigrated to the USA with the plan of establishing showbusiness careers for themselves: screenwriter and actress, respectively.

She was a star of Hollywood films during the silent era and became an important actress in Mexican films later in her life.
