Jane Powell | 91
Jane Powell is a famous American dancer, actress, and singer. She rose to prominence in the 1940s after starring in several Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musicals. As a teenager, Powell’s Hollywood career didn’t go well as she was still very inexperienced, with a lot of pressure riding on her shoulders. She experienced pressure and stress while building her own career, but she did not let it affect her performances and pushed through with sheer will and determination.
She became a well-known music artist to many, but in the 1950s, her career started to slow down when the era of Hollywood musicals ended. A huge amount of loans was needed to produce musicals, so the studio system started to dissolve. However, people still love to watch old musicals until today, so MGM musicals are still popular. Jane last performed in September 2010 with Pink Martini at the Hollywood Bowl.
