Happy Birthday Jean Peters (1926-2000)

There is actually very little information available on this very talented but mostly forgotten actress. If she is known at all, it is as the wife of billionaire nut-case Howard Hughes. Instead of my inserting random biographical snippets between the photos this time, allow me to recommend this very good biography of Jean Peters at Jackal's Film Corner.
