June Allyson

She has been married to David Ashrow, a dentist turned actor, since 1976. Eleanor Boardman has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to Motion Pictures, at 6922 Hollywood Boulevard. Summers refused her many offers of marriage, much to her chagrin. She died in Santa Barbara, California. Despite this, she was married briefly to Glenn Maxwell. She returned to the screen only once, as an interview subject for the documentary series Hollywood in 1980. Members of the nascent jet-set, Allyson and Summers were frequently seen in Cap d'Antibes, Madrid, Rome and London. Unable to make the transition from silent to talking pictures, Boardman retired in 1935, and retreated from Hollywood.

Reports at the time revealed that writer/director Dirk Summers, with whom Allyson was romantically involved from 1963-1975, was named legal guardian for Ricky and Pamela as a result of a court petition. Boardman was married to the film director King Vidor from 1926 until 1931. Following Powell's death, she went though a bitter court battle with her mother over custody of son Ricky and Pamela. She appeared in less than forty films during her career, and achieved her greatest success in The Crowd in 1928. They had two children, Pamela Allyson Powell (adopted) and Richard Powell, Jr., and remained married until his death on January 2, 1963, which led to Allyson's effective retirement from the screen. Her growing popularity was reflected by inclusion on the list of WAMPAS Baby Stars in 1923. On August 19, 1945, Allyson caused Hollywood studio chiefs some consternation by marrying Dick Powell, who was 13 years her senior and had been previously married to Mildred Maund and Joan Blondell. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Boardman entered films in 1922 and quickly began to attract audiences.

She also played straight roles such as the tomboy Jo in Little Women (1949) and Glenn Miller's wife in The Glenn Miller Story (1954). Eleanor Boardman (August 19, 1898 - December 12, 1991) was an American film actress, popular during the era of silent movies. After her appearance in Best Foot Forward in 1941, she was selected for the 1943 film version, and followed it up with several other musicals, including Thousands Cheer and Good News! (1947). After a childhood accident, she took up both swimming and dancing as therapy, and made her Broadway chorus-line debut in 1938. She was born Ella Geisman in the Bronx, New York City, and brought up in near-poverty.
