  1. Hi

    Wyman is a perfect example of a working actress slogging away for years, never really getting real recognition of her talent. And then suddenly an opportunity, which she grabs, and hey presto, stardom! That opportunity was definitely Lost Weekend. Ironically Barbara Stanwyck was offered the role but she thought it was too small. Wilder offered to make the part bigger.
    But I think it was The Yearling that proved that she wasn’t a one hit wonder. She was superb in Jonny Belinda, a movie that Jack Warner hated, yet I’m sure he was delighted with its Oscar success.
    I enjoyed Stage-fright, although I think Dietrich stole the show. Here Comes the Groom showed that she could sing and do musicals. And then her two big glossy melodramas, Magnificent Obsession and All That Heaven Allows. I preferred the latter.
    I was never a big fan of Falcon Crest, I just stuck to Dallas. But I was glad that she had another shot at stardom. The fact that her ex-husband was President was just coincidental.
    I remember the time when the President died, there were photos of her at the funeral. That was the last time I took notice of her and then I came across interviews of her in the 90’s about her days in Warner Bros. Definitely worth watching. Another good page, thanks.

    1. Hey Chris
      1. So was this request from you or another Chris?
      2. I agree her mid 1940s- to mid 1950s career high was well earned.
      3. I did not know Jack Warner was not a fan of The Yearling….I bet he liked all the money it brought home…lol.
      4. Dietrich, even though she and Hitch did not get along, easily stole Stage Fright from Wyman…..but Dietrich did that many times in her career.
      5. My mom loves both All That Magnificent Heaven Obsession movies….but I have not see either one….though I bet I have heard Obsession playing in the background a 100 times in my life….as my mom played that movie over and over….lol.
      6. I have never seen an episode of Falcon’s Crest…I was shocked it was on television for so long.
      7. I will have to check out those interviews.
      Thanks for sharing your movie thoughts on Jane Wyman.

    1. Hey Dan
      1. Short list for the 2016 stars….and they are all gone….so they will be tumbling down the chart as time goes on.
      2. Massive second list….I guess she and Bess Flowers (10 movies) had lots to talk about….after appearing in so many movies together.
      3. Looking at the second list….pretty much unknown supporting actors are far out numbering the legends like Douglas, Niven and Edward G. Robinson.
      4. 32 Oscar winners is a pretty good total….it always amazes me that rarely does this tally reach the 40 mark…..and even more rare to reach 50 or 60. Makes Sir Michael’s total even more impressive.
      5. Good information as always….thanks for sharing it.

  3. I have seen 24 Jane Wyman movies.

    The highest ranking film I have seen is The Lost Weekend.

    The highest ranking film I have not seen Johnny Belinda.

    The lowest ranking film I have seen is Brother Rat and a Baby.

    Regarding The Yearling – I have been unable to watch this film again since long before Gregory Peck died.

    My favourite Wyman films are:

    All That Heaven Allows
    Magnificent Seven
    Princess O’Rourke
    Three Guys Named Mike
    Stage Fright (about the middle of my Hitch preferences)

    1. Hey Flora
      1. Thanks for checking out our Jane Wyman page.
      2. 24 ties you with Lupino in our tally count. Steve and I manage a paltry combined total of 9……sad totals for supposed movie fanatics….lol.
      3. Other than Stage Fright…I have not seen any of your favorite Wyman movies. My mom…a fellow Canuck…loves Magnificent Obsession as well.
      4. The Yearling is a classic……but it is tad sad…..I thought the power of Mr. Peck would get the Yearling in your Top 5….learn something new everyday..
      Good feedback as always.

      1. Hey Flora….I realized what you meant….but I bet Steve got all excited when you mentioned one of his all-time favorite movies…..lol.

  4. Hmm I’ve seen only 4 from the 62 films listed here, none of them favorites.

    Hitchcock’s Stage Fright wasn’t one of his best and I haven’t watched The Yearling since I was a wee lad. I think there was a deer in it?

    Too many overwrought dramas in her filmography. A genre I’ve successfully avoided over the years.

    Thanks as always for the video share Bruce. Vote Up!

    1. Hey Steve…..thanks for checking out our Jane Wyman page. Only 4…..well….that makes my total of 5 in second place….currently. The Yearling was about a hippopotamus …not no stinking deer….lol. I figured Stage Fright would be on of the ones you watched. The power of Hitchcock on a young man from England…..lol. Well now we both have Wyman pages.

  5. Absolutely love Jane Wyman!!! Just my opinion but Miss Wyman is one of the few thespians who won the Oscar for the right film during the right year!!! Jane was downright BRILLIANT in 1948’s JOHNNY BELINDA, imho. Also loved her in SO BIG, THE MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION, ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS, STAGE FRIGHT, THE YEARLING, THE BLUE VEIL, THE LOST WEEKEND, and HERE COMES THE GROOM. By the way, does anybody know for sure if Jane Wyman actually appears in the 1952 movie musical HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN or is her voice just heard on the movie’s soundtrack? I haven’t seen HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN but I have always wanted to because I have heard that Jane’s singing sounds terrific on the movie’s soundtrack recordings. If anyone has any information about Miss Wyman’s work on the HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN movie, I would appreciate it if they would go ahead and post it. Thanks In Advance.

    1. Hey Greg.
      1. I like you point about Wyman being the right person to win an Oscar for the right role in the right year. A good example of the wrong Oscar winner for the wrong movie would be Paul Newman and Color of Money and Al Pacino an Scent of a Woman.
      2. Looking at my Danny Peary Alternate Oscar book…..he actually gave his Oscar to Joan Fontaine and her role in Letter From An Unknown Woman….instead of Wyman…..well great minds can’t always think alike…lol.
      3. Usually when I do a page one or two unknown movies to me make my list of movies to watch…in this case…Here Comes The Groom is that movie…the attached trailer looked pretty good….and now I have your high praise.
      4. IMDb does not list Wyman in any role for Hans Christian Andersen….as an actress or as a singer. I do see the song No Two People…..is listed as a song from that movie…..No Two People was song by Wyman and Kaye. So I guess I am saying….I don’t know….lol.
      5. Thanks for checking out our latest page….and thanks for sharing your movie thoughts on Ms. Jane Wyman….both are greatly appreciated.
      5.

      1. Hey Bruce!!!

        I have heard about Danny Peary’s book but never read it!!! Reading all the various pages here at UMR reminds of my high school and college days during the 1970s when I was the movie critic for my high school newspaper and did some “live” on the air movie reviews for my college radio station. Who knows I might get out those lists I wrote for my high school newspaper that mentions all the actors and actresses I felt deserved to win the Oscar for Best Actor and Best Actress between the years 1933 to 1973 and post them to some of the UMR Oscar pages!!!! LOL!!!!

        1. Hey Greg…..dig that out. I have often thought about doing an UMR Alternate Oscar page….though I do admit…I have been heavily influenced by Danny Peary. It would be interesting to see what you thought back then and now. I have a 1988 list that shows my favorite all-time movies back then….today…I wonder what I was thinking….lol. I am sure you would have some of the same thoughts. So bring it on!

          1. Hey Bruce…. I just dug out the Best Actress list and will post it within the coming week. I will say that I made a lot of choices back then that I would stand by today although not at all thus i made a couple of changes to the list but I will explain more about that when I do the actual post . Allow me to make it official!!! I hereby request that UMR do an Alternate Oscar page. If you need me to make this request on the UMR Request Hotline page, I will be happy to do so. Thank In Advance.

    2. Hello Greg,
      I have two biographies on Wyman, none of them mentions any involvement on her part in the Hans Christian Andersen movie- neither does Maltin’s movie guide. It seems as if Jane recorded only one song for the album, this version was not featured in the film, though: “Rerecording the delightful patter duet, “No Two People,” Mr. Kaye was joined on record by Jane Wyman, who substituted for Danny’s film partner, Zizi Jeanmaire” (taken from the imdb trivia section of the movie). Hope this answers your question 😉

      1. Hi, Lupino,

        Thanks for responding to my post and yes, you have answered my question. Seems like the Kaye and Wyman duet was a one time recording that has no real connection with the actual HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN movie.

        1. Hey Greg……this is one of the best things about this website…..lots of people with tons of movie knowledge pop in and share their knowledge. Glad Lupino could help answer the question.

      2. Hey Lupino…..thanks for sharing this information. IMDb is usually very good for giving credit….so when it was not listed in the soundtrack section I got confused. This saves me the time of re-watching that one and seeing if No Two People popped up. Wow….two biographies on Jane Wyman….even more impressive. Thanks again.
