Jane Powell

Powell lives in Connecticut, USA, with her fifth husband, Dick Moore, and still performs today. The last name does have an apostrophe as it was from a name she saw and liked, keeping the spelling. Her stage roles include "South Pacific", "The Sound of Music", "Oklahoma!", "My Fair Lady", "Carousel", "The Girl Next Door and How She Grew", and "Irene". Eva Robin's is a transexual Italian actress and activist, both male and developed extremely feminine features naturally. Since then Powell has continued to work in television, radio, and live performances. By the end of the 1950s, Hollywood musicals began to lose popularity, and her film career ended.

Her other films include: Rich, Young and Pretty (1951), Small Town Girl (1953), Three Sailors and a Girl (1953), Athena (1954), Deep in My Heart (1954), Hit the Deck (1955), and The Girl Most Likely (1957). Her best know film is probably Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954), which gave her the opportunity to play a more mature character than previous films. Powell got the chance to sing and dance with Fred Astaire in Royal Wedding (1951), when she was brought in as a replacement for both June Allyson and Judy Garland. Her first MGM musical was Holiday in Mexico (1946), which brought her to the public's attention, and she was later billed as the co-star in several films including A Date With Judy (1948), and Nancy Goes to Rio (1950).

She appeared in her first film, Song of the Open Road (1944), at age 15. Born Suzanne Burce in Portland, Oregon, USA, she sang on the radio as a child, and performed in theater before her film career began in 1944. She was the petite blonde with an operatic singing voice in many MGM musicals in the 1940s and 1950s. Jane Powell (born April 1, 1928) is an American actress.
