Jean Arthur

Jean Arthur was Hollywood’s „everyday heroine“ as well as „the quintessential comedic leading lady“. And James Harvey wrote about her: “No one was more closely identified with the screwball comedy than Jean Arthur. So much was she part of it, so much was her star personality defined by it, that the screwball style itself seems almost unimaginable without her.“ But, she was also the „American Garbo“, refusing to participate in publicity of any kind.
