:''For Jillian's eponymous television series see Ann Jillian (TV series)''. Ann Jillian (born January 29, 1950) is an American actress. She is best known for her role as Cassie Cranston on the 1980s sitcom ''It's a Living''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=The New York Times )〕 ==Early life and career== Ann Jillian was born Ann Jura Nauseda in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1950, although some sources mistakenly cite 1951.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=NNDB )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.citwf.com/person232643.htm )〕 She was born to Lithuanian immigrant parents and speaks Lithuanian fluently. Jillian was raised as a devout Roman Catholic. She has been acting since 1960 when she played Little Bo Peep in the Disney film ''Babes In Toyland''. Jillian appeared as Dainty June in the Rosalind Russell-Natalie Wood 1962 movie version of ''Gypsy''. She had several television appearances in the 1960s and 1970s, notably becoming a regular on the 1960s sitcom ''Hazel'' (1965-66 season) and appearing in the 1963 ''Twilight Zone'' episode "Mute" (credited as "Ann Jilliann") as the mute telepathic Ilse Nielson. In 1983, Jillian was honored by the Young Artist Foundation with its Former Child Star "Lifetime Achievement" Award recognizing her achievements within the entertainment industry as a child actress.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=5th Annual Youth in Film Awards )〕 Jillian moved on to voice roles, for ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' and ''Sealab 2020'' in the early 1970s, but — told she was too tall to play youthful roles of the day and too young to play a leading lady — there was no more work for her in Hollywood. She took a department store job and studied psychology, but heeded the advice of casting director Hoyt Bowers and Walt Disney who had told her, "whatever you do, keep working at your craft". Jillian married Andy Murcia, a Chicago police sergeant, on 27 March 1978,〔(Familysearch.org )〕 and shortly thereafter Murcia retired to manage his wife's career. Murcia later partnered with Joyce Selznick in management of Ann Jillian until Joyce died of breast cancer shortly after. In the late 1970s she toured in musical comedies including Sammy Cahn's ''Words and Music''. After appearing with Mickey Rooney in the play "Goodnight Ladies" in Chicago, the producers cast Ann Jillian to appear in the original company of ''Sugar Babies'' on Broadway with Mickey Rooney and Ann Miller in 1979.〔 She also starred in "I Love My Wife" at the Drury Lane Theatre in Chicago. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ann Jillian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
