Born: June 21, 1921

A performer from age 11, Jean Kent was billed as Jean Carr when she danced in the chorus of London's Windmill Theater, a popular quasi-burlesque establishment. Kent made her first film appearance in 1935, hitting her stride in the mid-1940s. She joyously harked back to her music hall roots in the leading role of the 1945 movie musical Trottie_True. A busy television performer, Jean Kent has been a regular on such British series as Sir Francis Drake (1962, as Queen Elizabeth), Tycoon (1978), Crossroads (1981), Lovejoy (1990) and Shrinks (1991).
