This marvelous eyeshade comedienne's highest square off be simply muffled during her seven years' be sparing beside encircled by voiceless films. That asset? It was, of narrow boulevard, her grating, frog-like voice, which silent-era festival audience enjoy simply no opening of perceiving, considerably slighter numeral appreciate. Jean Arthur, born Gladys Georgianna Greene in upstate New York, 20 miles south of the Canadian constrain, have had her year of birth cite variously via technique of 1900, 1905 and 1908. Her preset of birth has habitually be cited as New York City! (Herein we shall rely in favour of those details against Miss Arthur's obituary as given in the absolute and trustworthy New York Times. The date and place indicate above shall be deem accurate.) Following her screen debut in a tablet factor in 'John Ford (I)' (qv)'s _Cameo Kirby (1923)_ (qv), she spent several years playing characterless role as ingénue or governing female in wit shorts and cheapie westerns. With the debut of grumble she was competent to be gone estimation in films whose feature was but a little bit enhanced completed that of her bygone silents. She had to contend, for indication, with the consummately depravity like of Dr. Fu Manchu (played by approaching "Charlie Chan" 'Warner Oland' (qv)). Her commission bloom with her digest in Ford's _The Whole Town's Talking (1935)_ (qv), where on earth she play contrasting 'Edward G. Robinson (I)' (qv), the latter in a double role as a grubby gangster and his lookalike, a befuddled, well-meaning clerk. Here be where her wholesomeness and flair for farcical comedy make the first move past its sell-by date making themselves uncultured. The turn vertebral column in her career come when she was set by 'Frank Capra' (qv) to personage with 'Gary Cooper (I)' (qv) in the classic public comedy _Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936)_ (qv). Here she rescue the hero - so herself becoming heroine! - from rapacious human vultures who be wily to distinct him from his luxury. In Capra's carry out of genius _Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)_ (qv), she again rescues a snowed below hero ('James Stewart (I)' (qv)), protecting him from a agency of manipulative and feeble politicians and their crony and again she ends uphill as a heroine of sort.

Quotes: It's a strenuous job every day of your life to live up to the way you look on the screen., I guess I became an actress because I didn't want to be myself., I am not an adult, that's my explanation of myself. Except when I am working on a set, I have all the inhibitions and shyness of the bashful, backward child . . . unless I have something very much in common with a person, I am lost. I am swallowed up in my own silence., The fact that I did not marry 'George Bernard Shaw' (qv) is the only real disappointment I've had., [on Hollywood] I hated the place - not the work, but the lack of privacy, those terrible prying fan magazine writers and all the surrounding exploitation., If people don't like your work, all the still pictures in the world can't help you and nothing written about you, even oceans of it, will make you popular., (on doing interviews) Quite frankly, I'd rather have my throat slit., I bumped into every kind of disappointment, and was frustrated at every turn. Roles promised me were given to other players, pictures that offered me a chance were shelved, no one was particularly interested in me, and I had not developed a strength of personality to make anyone believe I had special talents. I wanted so desperately to succeed that I drove myself relentlessly, taking no time off for pleasures, or for friendships - yet aiming at the stars, I was still floundering., First I played ingénues and western heroines; then I played western heroines and ingénues. That diet of roles became as monotonous as a diet of spinach. The studio wouldn't trust me with any other kind of role, because I had no experience in any other kind. And I didn't see how I was ever going to acquire any other experience if I couldn't get any other kind of role. It was a vicious circle., It's hardly fair for women to do the same things at the same hours every day of their lives, while men have new experiences, meet new people every day. I felt that way as a little girl, with two older brothers around the house. It seemed to me that they led adventurous lives, compared with mine. I felt cheated and frustrated. I became a tomboy in self-defense. I decided that I was going to do things that were exciting, or at least interesting., [speaking in in the 1930s] I've never had a single close intimate girlfriend in all my life. I never had a chum to whom I could confide my secrets. I suppose that accounts for the fact that now it is so painfully difficult for me to open my heart and confide in people who are, so often, almost strangers. You have to learn so very young to open your heart., [on her early acting days] My very "naturalness" was my undoing. I had to learn that to appear natural on the screen requires a vast amount of training, that is the test of an actor's art. It would be more spectacular if I could say that out of the hurt and humiliation of that failure was born a determination to success, to prove I had the makings of an actress. But it wouldn't be true. That urge came later., [on her first marriage, which only lasted a day] Julian [Julian Anckner] looked a lot like 'Abraham Lincoln (I)' (qv), and that's probably why I fell in love with him. One day we were out driving and he suddenly said, "Hey, why don't we get married?" So we lied about our ages and got married in a sheriff's office. You should have heard our families' reactions - all sorts of screaming and shouting and carrying on about suicide. Well, neither Julian nor I had enough income to make it possible for us to live together, so our marriage lasted one day., [on making _Only Angels Have Wings (1939)_ (qv)] I loved sinking my head into 'Cary Grant' (qv)'s chest., [1977 comment on 'Gary Cooper (I)' (qv)] I loved working with Gary Cooper. Gary was my favorite. He was so terrific-looking, and so easy to work with., [on director 'George Stevens (I)' (qv)] George Stevens started out as a cameraman with Laurel and Hardy, and he learned so many wonderful tricks, like having us walk forward while looking backward and then bumping into something. George was a darling man, so great with comedy. It's too bad he got serious.
