Biography of Jeanne Crain:

Born in 1929, Jeanne Crain was an American actress who made a name for herself in Hollywood during the 1940s and 1950s. Her early career began at 20th Century-Fox, where she was signed to a contract alongside fellow player Chuck Russell.

Following this notable collaboration, Guild joined the esteemed Universal Studios, where she made a notable appearance in the 1951 comedy "Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet the Invisible Man". Her subsequent filmography included the 1953 drama "Francis Covers the Big Town", marking the end of her acting career until her return in the 1971 film "Such Good Friends".

Noted actress, Guild, led a life of romance and drama, both on and off the screen, as she exchanged vows three times, initially with esteemed producer Edward Lasker, followed by a union with Chuck Russell, and ultimately, she tied the knot with the illustrious Ernest H. Martin, a prominent figure in the world of Broadway theatre.

In addition to her illustrious film career, Guild made occasional appearances on television, her final on-screen performance taking place in 1955, when she graced the airwaves on Robert Montgomery Presents.

After a brief hiatus from the silver screen, Guild returned to acting in 1971, starring in the critically acclaimed film Such Good Friends, directed by the renowned Otto Preminger.
