June haver biography wikipedia español

June Haver (Rock Island, 10 de junho de 1926 — Brentwood, 4 de julho de 2005) foi uma atriz estadunidense. Preparada pela 20th Century Fox para ser "a próxima Betty Grable", Haver apareceu em uma série de musicais, mas nunca alcançou a mesma popularidade de Grable.

Início da vida

Nascida como June Stovenour, em 10 de junho de 1926, em Rock Island, Illinois, Haver mais tarde adotou o sobrenome de seu padrasto, Bert Haver. Após a família se mudar para Ohio, Haver, aos sete anos, entrou e venceu um concurso do Conservatório de Música de Cincinnati. Aos 10 anos, ela retornou a Rock Island, onde começou a se apresentar para Rudy Vallée.

Como sua mãe era atriz e seu pai, músico, Haver frequentemente se via em dúvida sobre qual carreira seguir. Aos oito anos, ela passou em um teste de cinema imitando atrizes famosas, como Greta Garbo, Katharine Hepburn e Helen Hayes. No entanto, sua mãe proibiu-a de entrar para a indústria cinematográfica como atriz infantil, achando-a jovem demais para isso.

Durante sua adolescência, Haver trabalhou regularmente como cantora de banda, se apresentando com a Orquestra de Ted Fio Rito por US$ 75 por semana. Também trabalhou com outros líderes de banda, como Dick Jurgens e Freddy Martin, além de se tornar uma conhecida estrela infantil no rádio.

Carreira

Depois de se mudar para a Califórnia com sua mãe, Haver estreou em quatro curtas musicais na Universal Pictures, sendo que um deles, Trumpet Serenade (1942), contou com a participação da Orquestra de Tommy Dorsey. Em seguida, a 20th Century Fox ofereceu-lhe um contrato. Seu primeiro filme na companhia foi The Gang's All Here (sem créditos), dirigido por Busby Berkeley, com Alice Faye e Carmen Miranda nos papéis principais. No ano seguinte, ela estrelou Home in Indiana (1944), ao lado de Jeanne Crain e Lon McCallister.

American actress (1926–2005)

June Haver (born Beverly June Stovenour; June 10, 1926 – July 4, 2005) was an American film actress, singer and dancer. Once groomed by 20th Century Fox to be "the next Betty Grable," Haver appeared in a string of musicals, but she never achieved Grable's popularity. Haver's second husband was the actor Fred MacMurray, whom she married after she retired from showbusiness.

Early life

Beverly June Stovenour was born in Rock Island, Illinois, and later took the surname of her stepfather, Bert Haver. Her mother Maria Haver (née Carter) was an actress and her father Fred Christian Stovenour was a musician. After the family moved to Ohio, seven-year-old Haver entered and won a contest of the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. At age eight, she won a film test by imitating famous actresses including Greta Garbo, Katharine Hepburn and Helen Hayes, but her mother prohibited her from becoming a child actress because she felt that Haver was too young to work in the film industry.

When Haver was 10, the family returned to Rock Island, where she began performing for Rudy Vallée and became a well-known child star on the radio. She worked regularly as a band singer by the time that she was in her teens, performing with the Ted Fio Rito Orchestra for $75 a week. She also worked with bandleaders Dick Jurgens and Freddy Martin.

Career

In the summer of 1942, Haver moved to Hollywood, where she finished high school. She acted in plays in her spare time, and during a performance as a southern belle, she was discovered by a scout from 20th Century Fox. In 1943, Haver signed a $3,500-per-week contract with the studio and made her film debut playing an uncredited role as a hat-check girl in The Gang's All Here. She was dropped shortly after because the studio executives felt that she looked too young, but she was
