Biography
Adele Jergens began her career as a singer and dancer before becoming a familiar face in mid-century Hollywood, often cast as the glamorous, quick-witted heroine or supporting player who could lighten any scene. Born in 1917, she brought polish and humor to film noirs, comedies, and musicals while working with stars across studios.
After she stepped away from the screen, she treasured the friendships and memories that the industry had given her and remained a generous presence for family and fans until her death in 2002.
