Jane Randolph (born as Jane Roemer; October 30, 1915 – May 4, 2009), was an American film actress. She was born in Youngstown, Ohio[1] and died in Gstaad, Switzerland, from complications of a broken hip.[2]
Early years
Randolph grew up in Kokomo, Indiana, where her hobbies included playing golf and flying airplanes. She attended DePauw University, where she was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta. She also studied at an acting school operated by Max Reinhardt.[3]
Film
Randolph moved to Hollywood in 1939 in an attempt to start a movie career. She was eventually picked up by Warner Bros. and appeared in bit movie roles in 1941.[1]
In 1942, RKO picked up the contract of the poised actress and she received a leading lady role in Highways by Night (1942). She became known for her roles in film noir, which included Jealousy (1945) and Railroaded! (1947), and in two of Val Lewton's now well regarded B-picture horror films, Cat People (1942) and The Curse of the Cat People (1944).[1]
One of her last movies was Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948).
Personal life
In 1949, Randolph married Jaime del Amo (grandson of Manuel Dominguez) and retired to Spain and became a socialite. In later years she returned to Los Angeles periodically, but maintained a home in Gstaad.[1]
Another source says that She and Del Amo were married in Las Vegas in 1948, and that it was her second marriage.[4]
