1940s Starlet Jean Porter Dead At 95

So young.

Very pretty back in the day but can't say I recall her from her films..

Ger most famous role, Guy Madison's GF in Til The End of Time.

Miss Porter's finished school......

Porter's film debut was in 1936. There aren't many actresses left who played ingénue or adult roles in 30s films: O de H, Marsha Hunt, Patricia Morison, Glynis Johns, Micheline Presle, Peggy Stewart, Fay McKenzie, Jane Withers, Suzy Delair, Mary Carlisle, and Muriel Pavlow.

Jean Porter was in "Abbott and Costello in Hollywood," 1945, MGM. One of the few films the team made away from Universal in the 1940s.

Damn, I would like to be in the middle between Robert Mitchum and Guy Madison.

Patricia Morison is even older than Olivia!

I know that she was married to director Edward Dmytryck (sic).

Mary Carlisle will be 104 in a few weeks.

You're damned right I'm still "left"!

Patricia Morison at 100. She's 102 now.

She looks good for 100!

According to Wiki, Mary Carlisle may be 105...and she has a star on Hollywood Blvd. despite mostly being in B-pictures.

These old dames need a troll---I mean a B-picture actress with a tsr on Hollywood Blvd--she had to be fucking someone, even after she left pictures.

She was a Communist and married one of the most notorious ones as well.

"most notorious"" Most of these people were politically naive and left the party rather quickly. Porter's husband, Edward Dmytryk was one of these and he later "named names". Oddly, the fascists American firsters never had to go through the same level of witch hunting. Philip Johnson had no trouble building a career and Lindberg, though diminished, continued to be venerated as a hero.

Connie Sawyer, shown here with Susan Hayward from a scene in ADA (1961) is still living and is 105.

Norman Lloyd is 103.

Nanette Fabray is now 97.

Marsha Hunt is 100.

Earl Cameron shown here with Sean Connery in THUNDERBALL (1965) is 100 years old.

Gone too soon.

Baby Peggy who was a huge child star in the 1920s is now 99.

Vera Lynn is 100.

Lucky lady getting to work with the beautiful Guy Madison! It's 'strange' to think there will come a time when there is no one left from Hollywood's golden era and every death of someone involved in that era brings that reality closer.

Anyway may she rest in peace x

Nehemiah Persoff, shown here in a scene from SOME LIKE IT HOT, is now 98.

Marge Champion is 98.

Carol Channing will turn 97 in 2 weeks.

Jean Porter is pictured (OP) with Richard Erdmann who is 92. He had a recurring role in "Community". He was "Hoffy" in "Stalag 17", the well-respected organizer ( not Price, the Peter Graves character).

It's great that so many have made it to a grand old age. I will still feel sad when there's no one left from this era despite its inevitability.

R31, I was about to post similiar sentiments. It's almost as if they are collectively hanging in there, lest society loses its last link to the golden era.

Prayers going up for her heartbroken parents. There's nothing worse than losing a child.

[R32] Brilliantly put.

Bumping this because Patricia Morison is dead now, too

Was Porter her maiden name?

Wow - Patricia Morrison was older than Olivia de Havilland!

Patricia Morison obit

I think that the last link will be once Margaret O'Brien dies. She is now 80.
