Deanna Durbin

There will only ever be one Deanna Durbin, Hollywood’s little Miss Fix-it. She was a successful child star, the perfect all-American girl – and then vanished. 

In this episode I dive into the short-lived career of America’s little Miss Fix-It Deanna Durbin, her ascent to childhood stardom, her switch to more mature roles as well as her early retirement. Her image shaped the ideals of the 1930s and 1940s for young women in America and her style inspired many retailer collections. Her life lessons are still valid today – and I dive deep into what we can learn from this extraordinary singer, actress and woman.
