Before Jane Withers became one of the most popular child actors of the 1930s, she performed in vaudeville and on her own radio show in Atlanta. Initially gaining fame in 1934 as the little girl who roughed up Shirley Temple in the film Bright Eyes, Withers maintained a successful career in the film industry for more than a decade. As an adult, Withers returned to the profession and successfully reestablished herself as a character actor during the 1950s. - Metadata URL:
