Encyclopedic overview
June Allyson (born Eleanor Geisman; October 7, 1917 – July 8, 2006) was an American stage, film, and television actress.
Allyson began her career in 1937 as a dancer in short subject films and on Broadway in 1938. She signed with MGM in 1943 and rose to fame the following year in Two Girls and a Sailor. Allyson's "girl next door" image was solidified during the mid-1940s when she was paired with actor Van Johnson in six films. In 1951 she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for her performance in Too Young to Kiss. From 1959 to 1961 she hosted and occasionally starred in her own anthology series, The DuPont Show with June Allyson, which aired on CBS.
