Last week, I paid tribute to Lauren Bacall, and this week I'm tipping my hat to another living legend of the 1940s.
Deanna Durbin starred in numerous Hollywood muscials of the forties, and she was known for her versatile voice as well as her glamourous looks. Her films included Can't Help Singing, her only Technicolor film, but she also did more serious fare like the film noir Chrismtas Holiday and the mystery movie Lady On a Train. Dissatisfied with the Hollywood starmaking machinery, the Canadian-born Durbin retired from movies in 1948 and moved to a farm in France. She's avoided the limelight ever since.
