The article Hollywood 1930s child star Deanna Durbin dies aged 91 written by Belinda Goldsmith was published in The Independent on May, 1. It reports at length that Deanna Durbin, a singing child movie star of the 1930s who became one of the world's highest paid actresses died at the age of 91.
Author says that her son Peter H. David was quoted as telling The Deanna Durbin Society newsletter that the actress died "a few days ago", thanking her admirers for respecting her privacy. No other details were given.
There is a lot of comments on actrees's life as well. The actress was born Edna Mae Durbin in Winnipeg, Canada, but moved to California with her British-born parents when she was young. She broke into the movies in 1936, aged 14, when she appeared in Every Sunday with Judy Garland. She made her name playing the ideal teenage daughter in Three Smart Girls in 1936 and in its profitable follow-up the next year, One Hundred Men and a Girl. Capitalising on her fame, Universal cast Durbin in a series of musical movies including That Certain Age and Mad About Music which made the actress with the sweet soprano voice into one of Hollywood's most popular stars. Durbin shared a special Juvenile Award with Mickey Rooney at the 1938 Oscars for their "significant contribution in bringing to the screen the spirit and personification of youth".
Spealing of Deanna Durbin's following years of her acting career it’s necessary to point out that the woman found fame hard to handle and, despite trying to move on from her image as the perfect daughter with films such as Christmas Holiday (1944) and Lady on a Train (1945), she walked away from stardom aged about 28.
The article draws a conclusion that from 1949 Deanna Durbin stayed out of the limelight, moving to France with her third husband, the French director Charles David. She gave only one interview in the following decades and rejected all offers of a comeback.
As for me, I've never heard her name and even we didn't talk about this actrees during the session of MovieClub when we discussed famous actors and actrees of 1920-1930s. Having browsed some sites consecrated to Deanna Durbin I've learned that she was really an outstanding woman. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1722 Vine Street. And after actrees's death many people showed respect for her by laying flowers and other symbolic tributes at her star.
