A look at the career of Jean Peters probably more well known as being married to Howard Hughes. The author did a good job on giving us a view of a very private person from her early years in East Canton, Ohio and studying at Ohio State University. She won a pageant while in college which included a trip to Hollywood and became an actress. Her first film was co-starring with Tyrone Power in Captain from Castile but may be better known for one of the three ladies in Three Coins in the Fountain. She only appeared in 19 films and a few television shows. She was married to Howard Hughes for 14 years but did not spend a lot of time with her. She was married prior to Hughes and after Hughes as well. The author used interviews with Peters as well as her co-stars to provide information. Peters was a very private person but those who knew her spoke highly of her. The book features a very detailed filmography. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
From 1947 to 1955, Jean Peters (1926-2000) appeared in films opposite such Hollywood leading men as Tyrone Power, Marlon Brando, Burt Lancaster, Spencer Tracy, Richard Widmark, and Robert Wagner, as well as international stars including Louis Jourdan and Rossano Brazzi. Despite her talent and status, Peters eschewed the star-studded lifestyle of 1950s Hollywood, turning down roles that were "too sexy" and refusing to socialize with other actors, discuss her private life in the press, or lead the glamorous lifestyle often associated with her peers. She was seen as a mystery to reporters, who constantly tried to discover titbits about her personal life. In 1957, her marriage to Howard Hughes led to her retirement from acting and her further withdrawal from social events in Hollywood. Instead, she shifted her attention to charitable work, arts and crafts, and university studies in psychology and anthropology. Her status as an enigma only grew as she agreed never to speak of her marriage with Hughes. After her divorce, however, Peters attempted to resume her acting career in television but never regained her previous level of stardom. Jean Peters: Hollywood's Mystery Girl grants an in-depth analysis of each of her nineteen films and is enriched by several high-quality photographs from the author's personal collection.
