When
Deanna Durbin's (1921-2013)
Three Smart Girls (Henry Koster, 1936), the first of her 21 starring vehicles, was released in 1936 it was an immediate sensation, and her films for Universal are said to have saved the studio from bankruptcy.
On 30 December, there will be a special post by La Collectionneuse about Deanna Durbin at
EFSP (European Film Star Postcards).
