Jane Wyman's Early Career: Photos from Her Time as a Warner Bros. Contract Player in the 1930s

Jane Wyman, born Sarah Jane Mayfield on January 5, 1917, was an accomplished American actress who enjoyed success in both film and television. She earned an Academy Award for Best Actress, multiple Golden Globe Awards, and received stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to motion pictures and television. Before achieving these milestones, Wyman spent the 1930s as a dedicated working actress at Warner Bros. Studios. During this period, she was frequently cast as a wisecracking, fast-talking blonde, a character type created by the studio that differed from her later dramatic roles. She started her career appearing as an extra and chorus girl in films such as Gold Diggers of 1933 and Anything Goes in 1936. She also performed briefly as a radio singer under the name Jane Durrell. In 1936, she signed a contract with Warner Bros., which led to her name change to Jane Wyman. By the late 1930s, she progressed from small parts to leading roles in B-movies like Public Wedding in 1937 and Torchy Blane... Playing with Dynamite in 1939. While filming Brother Rat in 1938, she met actor Ronald Reagan, whom she later married in January 1940 after becoming engaged toward the end of the decade. The collection of photos from this era showcases her youthful appearance and the glamorous studio style of Hollywood's Golden Age. These images capture her transition from bit player to more prominent roles, reflecting the hard work and persistence required in the competitive film industry of the time. Wyman's early experiences laid the foundation for her long and distinguished career that would eventually include major dramatic achievements and her notable personal connection to future U.S. President Ronald Reagan.

Jane Wyman mini bio extract (including some on RR)

#JaneWyman

Wyman and Ronald Reagan co-starred in Brother Rat, a film released in 1938. They were married in January, 1940.

Their first child was Maureen Elizabeth Reagan (1941 – 2001).
Their second child was Michael Edward Reagan (March 18, 1945 – ). The Reagans adopted Michael.
Their third child was Christine Reagan. She was born June 26, 1947, apparently 4 weeks premature. Some reports say that she was stillborn. Others say she lived for 9 hours, dying on June 27, 1947.
Their divorce was filed in 1948. President Ronald Reagan is the only president to have been divorced.

While reports state that Jane’s reason for the divorce was a difference in political opinion, others speculate that their bereavement may have played a part. Ronald considered himself a Democrat until the 1950s when he presented bi-partisan speeches for General Electric. Influenced by Lemuel Boulware and his wife Nancy, Ronald formally switched to the Republican party in 1962.

In 1952 Wyman married music composer Fred Karger. In 1955, the two divorced. In 1961 the two remarried, but in 1965, they divorced once again.
