June Haver
Encyclopedia
June Haver was an American
film actress. She is most well known as a popular star of 20th Century-Fox musicals in the late 1940s, most notably The Dolly Sisters
(1945) with Betty Grable
and John Payne
and also for playing the 1920s Broadway
actress Marilyn Miller
in Look for the Silver Lining
(1949). Haver's second husband was the actor Fred MacMurray
, whom she married after she retired from show business.
. She later took the last name of her stepfather Bert Haver. After the family moved to Ohio, seven-year-old Haver entered and won a contest of the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music
. At age 10, she moved back to Rock Island, where she began performing for Rudy Vallee
. Her mother being an actress and her father being a musician, Haver often doubted who she - careerwise - wanted to follow. At age eight, she won a film test by imitating famous actresses including Greta Garbo
, Katharine Hepburn
and Helen Hayes
. Haver's mother, however, prohibited her daughter from becoming a child actress in the film industry, feeling she was too young.
Working regularly as a band singer by her teens, she performed with the Ted Fio Rito Orchestra for $75 a week. Other bandleaders she worked for were Dick Jurgens
and Freddy Martin
. Furthermore, she became a well-known child star on the radio.
. In 1943, Haver signed a $3,500 a week contract with the studio and made her film debut playing a uncredited role in The Gang's All Here. She was dropped shortly after, because the studio executives felt that she looked too young, but then was later re-signed, after her costume and hairstyle were changed.
20th Century Fox had plans to mold Haver as a glamour girl stand-in for the studio's two biggest stars, Betty Grable
and Alice Faye
. She debuted on screen, in a supporting role as "Cri-Cri" in Home in Indiana
(1944). According to the actress, she had just turned seventeen years old when her scenes were filmed. Even before Home in Indiana was released, she was assigned to replace Faye in Irish Eyes Are Smiling
. Later that year she co-starred with future husband, Fred MacMurray
, in Where Do We Go From Here?
, which was the only time the pair appeared together in a film.
During her career at Fox, Haver was originally groomed to be the next Betty Grable (she was known as "Pocket Grable"). She even co-starred with Grable in the 1945 film
, The Dolly Sisters
, a film for which she had to put on weight. While filming, there were a lot of rumors about a possible clash between the two actresses, mostly because of their frequent comparison, but Haver refuted this with: "Betty is a big star and I'm just starting. I try to be nice to her, and she reciprocated by being just as nice to me. It's silly to think two girls can't work together without querreling. You see, I've two sisters. I'm the ham between the bread and butter - the middle sister - and I understand girls pretty well. Betty likes to talk about her baby, so we talk about her baby."
In 1946, she starred and received first-billing in two movie musicals, Wake Up and Dream
and Three Little Girls in Blue
. The following year, the role of Katie was written into the film I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now
for Haver.
Possibly best known for her roles in optimistic musicals, Haver's comedy star-turn in 1948's Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay!
was a major success. The same year, she starred as Marilyn Miller
in the musical Look for the Silver Lining
(1949). To resemble the actress as much as possible, Haver had to drive to the studio an hour earlier for make-up. The following year, she would star in,The Daughter of Rosie O'Grady
and I'll Get By
.
Following her marriage to Fred MacMurray, Haver remained largely retired from acting (her last appearances were as herself on The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour
in 1958 and Disneyland '59); she later found some success as an interior decorator. June Haver's final film appearance would be in 1953's The Girl Next Door
. Haver and MacMurray would adopt two daughters and remained together until MacMurray's death in 1991.
At the urging of friends Ann Miller
and Ann Rutherford
, Haver finally joined the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
at the age of 75. For her contribution to the motion picture industry, June Haver has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
at 1777 Vine Street.
On March 9, 1947, Haver married trumpet player James Zito. She met him at age 15, while touring with Ted Fio Rito's orchestra. They initially lost contact after Haver moved from Illinois to Beverly Hills, but started dating when Haver made a short visit to her home town when she was already a film actress. Haver filed for divorce less than a year after eloping with Zito, winning interlocutory decree on March 25, 1948. She admitted to the press the marriage was a failure from the beginning, saying: "I want to forget as soon as possible. We hadn't been married hours before I realized I had never really known Jimmy. He was a stranger. He was either down in the dumps or up high. I never knew from one moment to the next how he would be." Because of her devotion to religion, Haver tried to make the marriage work, turning to the church to forget her unhappiness.
After her divorce from Zito, Haver started dating Dr. John L. Duzik, whom she had dated before her marriage to Zito; they planned on marrying, but Duzik died on October 31, 1949 following surgery complications. While taking care of him in his final days, she started attending church more often. According to friends, it was in this period when she was inspired to become a nun. Following Duzik's death, Haver reportedly became tired of Hollywood, and never really was in love with the men she dated afterwards. In February 1953, Haver entered a convent, but she stayed there only until October, saying she left because of "poor health".
Around that time, Haver met MacMurray, one of the wealthiest and most conservative men in Hollywood, again, and a romantic relationship developed. On June 28, 1954, they were married. She told the press: "When I married Fred, he was terribly set in his ways. He was a fuss-budget. He hadn't quite progressed to being a lint picker, but he was already an ash-tray emptier, and that's just about as set in his ways as a man can get." Haver insisted on adopting a girl, but MacMurray, 19 years her senior, initially refused to, explaining he already has been a father. Shortly after, he agreed on adopting a child, and with the help of a doctor, they were able to take in a twin.
Haver died from respiratory failure on July 4, 2005 at her home in Brentwood, California
at the age of 79 and was buried with her husband at Holy Cross Cemetery
, in Culver City
. She left behind two stepchildren (by MacMurray's first marriage), two adopted children and seven grandchildren.
