Future Favorites — Jane Wyatt (1936) 🇺🇸
Jane Wyatt has become a favorite because she represents a type that is fast becoming popular in Hollywood ... She's gay and full of fun, has grey eyes and is not particularly beautiful ... She has dark brown hair which she combs straight back from her forehead ... she is an excellent horsewoman, roller-skater, swimmer and tennis player ...
Although Miss Wyatt is only twenty-two, she has over a dozen popular plays to her credit and almost as many motion pictures ... She comes straight from the New York stage where she was discovered by Carl Laemmle Jr. ...
She is now being featured in Lost Horizon, the new Frank Capra production starring Ronald Colman ... Needless to say, the part she now has in Lost Horizon was one of the most coveted jobs in pictures that Hollywood has seen for a long time ... Miss Wyatt came over to Columbia to make the picture on "loan" from her home studio, Universal ... Strange as it may seem, Miss Wyatt appeared in a play on Broadway called Lost Horizon ... The play has nothing to do with the picture ... the titles are the same by coincidence ... Jane is married to a man who approves of her career ... She has been married less than a year ... Her married name is Mrs. Edgar B. Ward ... Mr. Ward has never been associated with the stage or pictures ... Miss Wyatt's mother wrote several plays that have been produced on Broadway ... Jane's favorites of the stage and screen are Charles Laughton and Katharine Hepburn ... Jane's contract allows her to divide her time between the New York stage and Hollywood ... However, at the present time, Miss Wyatt's future in pictures looks so bright that we fear Broadway will see very little of her ... As for her physical appearance, she is five-feet-four inches tall and weighs 118 pounds ...
You are going to see much more of Miss Wyatt than you have to date ... Some of her pictures are: “One More River,” “Great Expectations,” “We're Only Human” and “Strangers At The Feast” ... If you want to see a real bit of acting, don't miss seeing Jane in Lost Horizon.
