Jean Peters
Jean Peters (October 15, 1926 – October 13, 2000) was an American actress, known as a star of 20th Century Fox in the late 1940s and early 1950s, and as the second (or possibly third) wife of Howard Hughes. Although possibly best remembered for her siren role in ''Pickup on South Street'' (1953), Peters was known for her resistance to being turned into a sex symbol. She preferred to play unglamorous, down-to-earth women.〔Bob Thomas, "Jean Peters Hopes to Avoid Roles of Siren on Screen," ''Reading Eagle'', September 21, 1953, p. 19〕
==Early life==
Born Elizabeth Jean Peters in 1926 in East Canton, Ohio, she was the daughter of Elizabeth and Gerald Peters, a laundry manager. Raised on a small farm in East Canton, Peters attended East Canton High School. She was raised as a Methodist.〔http://www.fumceunice.org/About.html〕 She went to college at the University of Michigan and later the Ohio State University, where she studied to become a teacher and majored in literature. While studying for a teaching degree at Ohio State, she entered the Miss Ohio State Pageant in the fall of 1945. From the twelve finalists, Peters won. Sponsored by the photographer Paul Robinson of the "House of Portraits", she was awarded the grand prize of a screen test with 20th Century-Fox.〔
As her agent, Robinson accompanied her to Hollywood, and helped her secure a seven-year contract with Fox. She dropped out of college to become an actress, a decision she later regretted.〔Interview with Louella Parsons, ''Waterloo Daily Courier,'' 12 October 1947, Waterloo, Iowa, p. 19〕 In the late 1940s, Peters returned to college, in between filming, to complete her work and obtain a diploma.〔''Long Beach Independent,'' October 14, 1948, Long Beach, California, p. 26〕
It was announced that in her first film ''I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now'' (1947), she would play an "ugly duckling", supported by "artificial freckles and horn-rimmed glasses".〔''Evening Independent,'' July 26, 1946, Massillon, Ohio. p. 21〕 She eventually withdrew from the film. Peters was tested in 1946 for a farm girl role in ''Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay!'' (1948), but the producer and director decided she was not suitable.〔''The Oakland Tribune,'' November 6, 1946, Oakland, California. p. 10〕
