Notes |
- By 1939, Landis had played bit parts in several Warner Brothers movies, including some Busby Berkeley flicks. It was in 1939 that her career got chugging at Republic Pictures. She was the heroine in two Three Mesquiteers westerns, one starring John Wayne, and a serial, “Daredevils of the Red Circle.”
Her real start came when she starred, clad in skimpy garb, in a 1940 movie which, when re-made in 1966, marked the dawn of the career of another sex star, Raquel Welch. The film was “One Million B.C.”, the Landis version staged by independent producer Hal Roach.
It was not only her appearance that won her the role, but her agility. She could run. Indeed, in high school, her key interest was athletics, and she had formed a girls’ football team, which the school administration ordered disbanded because the sport was deemed unladylike.
“Topper Returns” (1941), in which she played the ghost Marian Kirby who flirted with mortal Cosmo Topper, was another Roach production in which she had a starring role. Roach’s studio publicists dubbed her the “ping girl.”
Then came her movies for Fox: “Moon Over Miami” (1942), “I Wake Up Screaming” (1942), “Cadet Girl” (1942), “Dance Hall” (1942), “It Happened in Flatbush” (1943), “My Gal Sal” (1943), “Orchestra Wives” (1943), “Manila Calling” (1943), “Wintertime” (1944), “Secret Command” (1945), and “Having a Wonderful Crime” (1945).
In 1942, she teamed with Martha Raye, Kay Francis and Mitzi Mayfair in a UFO tour of the British isles. Her book, recounting the experience — “Four Jills in a Jeep” — was made by Fox into a 1944 movie, with Landis and her three former cohorts portraying themselves.
Landis was a Hollywood success.
On the Fourth of July in 1948 — on the day that she would have been celebrating a wedding anniversary, had her second marriage lasted — she had dinner with actor Rex Harrison. He was a married man with whom she was reportedly having an affair, and the end of that affair was said to be impending. And her film career was on the wane.
The next day, Harrison discovered Landis’ dead body. She died at home.
