Janis Paige

Actress / Stage Actress / Television Actress / Film Actress | * 09/16/1922 (101) | Tacoma, Washington (United States of America (USA))
Janis Paige (born Donna Mae Tjaden; September 16, 1922) is an American retired actress and singer. With a career spanning nearly 60 years, she is one of the last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Born in Tacoma, Washington, she began singing in local amateur shows at the age of five. After high school, she moved to Los Angeles, where she became a singer at the Hollywood Canteen during World War II, as well as posing as a pin-up model. This led to a film contract with Warner Bros., although she later left the studio to pursue live theatre work, appearing in a number of Broadway shows. She continued to alternate between film and theatre work for much of her career. Beginning in the mid-1950s, she also made numerous television appearances, as well as starring in her own sitcom It's Always Jan. ()
