	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Jean Arthur
		Arthur’s early films must have been difficult for the highly intelligent, well-read, sophisticated woman Oller portrays; they were mostly horse operas and slapstick comedies, along with walk-ons in bigger pictures.
		But Arthur’s striking personality shone through by the early 1930s, and she gave memorable performances in a series of films that are remembered today as much for her presence as anything else.
		Arthur’s disgust with the machinery of stardom led her inexorably to the stage; more respectable, perhaps, but equally or even more problematic for an actress of her skittish sensibilities.

	Jean Arthur by Suprina Frazier (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Arthur’s distinctive voice as frog-like and squeaky, however it was this same voice that proved to be one of her best assets and set her apart from many of the other actresses of that era.
		Arthur’s hilarious and highly energetic comic performances came across as effortless and natural, one would never guess that she suffered from extreme anxiety both before and after filming a scene and that she would often throw up after her scene was finished.
		Arthur’s last two movies were Billy Wilder’s A Foreign Affair (1948) in which she played a prim congresswoman from the Corn Belt who gets drunk and sings the Iowa State Song; and George Stevens’ Shane (1953) in which she portrayed the wife of a besieged settler.

	Jean Arthur Information
		Arthur's curious voice, best described as being earnestly squeaky, ensured her work in talkies, but she was seldom used to full advantage in the early 30s.
		In the early 60s, the extremely reclusive Arthur tentatively returned to show business with a few stage appearances and as an attorney on ill-advised 1966 TV sitcom, ‘The Jean Arthur Show’, which was mercifully cancelled mid-season after only 11 episodes.
		Surprisingly, the ultra-introverted Arthur later decided to tackle the extroverted profession of teaching drama, first at Vassar College and then the North Carolina School of the Arts; one of her students at North Carolina remembered Arthur as odd and her lectures as somewhat whimsical and rambling.
