I thought she was really something in the Glenn Miller story. Hate to hear of this but we all have to go sometime. RIP.
If everyone must die sometime, What's keeping that traitor Harry Belafonte alive? I would trade 1000 Banana Boat Harrys for just one June Allison.
Unfortunately, what she and James Stewart were in that movie---through no fault of their own---was a bowdlerised version of Helen and Glenn Miller. (It only begins with the fact that "Little Brown Jug" was not just some brand-new entry in the Miller book that he planned to play on a radio broadcast as a surprise for her that ended up being played in his memory. Miller had had a hit with the song before he went into the Army Air Force, whether or not he really did hate the song as the film also portrayed. The good news is that the Miller film wasn't quite the worst bowdlerisation of a musician's story---for my money, the top honour is a dead heat between the films made of the lives of Benny Goodman and Red Nichols, and there's something rotten to be said about the films made about Gene Krupa and the Dorsey brothers, too.)
But that said, now June Allyson returns to her true love. Dick Powell has been waiting for her for years. Here's to the last surviving co-founder of Four Star Productions, a lady with class and understated grace, reunited to the true love of her life.
