Jean Rogers(1916-1991)

When Rogers wanted to remarry her first husband Dan Winkler in 1943, she was forbidden to do so by studio boss Louis B. Mayer. Her defiance of Mayer's edict brought her association with Metro to an end.

Looking back on it now, all of us who were part of the serial world realize only too well what a marvelous training ground it was. My own experience provided me with knowledge of what to do and what not to do in front of the camera. Equally important, it gave me the confidence and the poise one must have to be truly professional. In retrospect, it was a training ground that paved the way for my growth as an actress and enabled me to play feature roles in major films while under long-term contract to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Twentieth Century-Fox.
