SynopsisDeanna Durbin was the greatest star of the Golden Age of Hollywood and the most celebrated juvenile actor in movie history. This was the time of Shirley Temple and Mickey Rooney, Bette Davis and Clark Gable. However, Deanna's fame surpassed all these celebrated stars and her influence upon an entire generation of youth was unequalled. Deanna's ......, The 1930s was a magical age in Hollywood, with Shirley Temple and Mickey Rooney, Bette Davis and Clark Gable lighting up the silver screen. But Deanna Durbin's fame surpassed them all. Born in Canada, Deanna was "discovered" by starmaker Eddie Cantor, producer Joe Pasternak and director Henry Koster, and she quickly became the world's most celebrated star. She saved Universal Studios from ruin, she was a favourite of Winston Churchill and Anne Frank, and she became the highest-paid woman in America. From the start, Deanna's life was irrevocably connected with that of another young ingénue, Judy Garland. Deanna and Judy were wildly talented, ambitious, and strong-willed young women who followed vastly different paths to stardom. While fame was thrust upon Deanna, Judy spent years struggling for success and their early friendship soon turned into a lifelong rivalry. Despite her tragic life, Judy Garland is remembered as an entertainment icon, beloved by millions. However, Deanna Durbin--who turned her back on Hollywood at the age of twenty-eight to pursue love and happiness--has been largely forgotten. But Deanna's legacy endures, and this first-ever biography tells of how her gorgeous voice and winning charm vaulted her to worldwide fame and how a thirteen-year-old girl transformed moviemaking and influenced a generation of fans as the first teenage superstar., Deanna Durbin was the greatest star of the Golden Age of Hollywood and the most celebrated juvenile actor in movie history. This was the time of Shirley Temple and Mickey Rooney, Bette Davis and Clark Gable. However, Deanna's fame surpassed all these celebrated stars and her influence upon an entire generation of youth was unequalled. Deanna's life became irrevocably connected with that of another young ingenue, Judy Garland. Deanna and Judy were close in age, unusually talented, ambitious and strong-willed young women. However, despite the many similarities between them, the two actors followed vastly different paths to stardom. While Deanna's fame was almost thrust upon her, Judy Garland struggled tirelessly for her success. The rivalry that was imposed upon them by studio bosses ultimately led to Durbin's departure from Hollywood and an acting career at the age of 28, and to Garland's successful but troubled life in the Hollywood bubble. This is the story of an era when the studio's thoroughly exploited its brightest young stars, leading one to quit and the other to remain a captive of a corrupt system.
