June Allyson

June Allyson's trophy case is small but specific. The 1952 Golden Globe for Too Young to Kiss is the one competitive prize, and it is a fitting one: the role let her play the girl-next-door type and send it up at the same time. Her more lasting distinction is the six-film partnership with Van Johnson, which made them one of the defining screen couples of the 1940s. The Hollywood Walk of Fame star came later, and her Depend campaign earned her a different kind of recognition, as a public figure who used her fame to make a difficult subject easier to talk about.
