Contending with housing conditions on a college campus in "Apartment For Peggy," Jeanne typified postWar wife trying to make life easier for herself and husband (Bill Holden). P/iecms Qflilesimes INGENUES have always been a too plentiful commodity in acting circles. With so much competition, only the girl who reveals promise of some day turning into a real star will stay in the lists. Jeanne Crain did and has now left most of the competition by the wayside. On this page her progress is retraced, beginning with her first hit, "Margie," to her new film for 20th, "Cheaper By The Dozen." In all five pictures actress Crain has done as much for the production as it has for her. "A Letter To Three Wives" with Jeffrey Lynn. Jeanne held her own with five accomplished stars. Right: Her portrait of a high school girl, longing to be popular in "Margie," was both hilarious and touching, had appeal because it reminded most of us of all our own adolescent woes. Left: The Jeanne Crain of "Pinky" (with Ethel Waters) was restrained, deep. She conveyed real impression of her tragic plight, thus making film stronger than most on the subject of race problem. i
