Jane Harker
Dazzling Jane Harker as photographed by Scotty Welbourne for DAY AND NIGHT (1946). Actress, model, and popular glamour girl of the late 1940s, she is perhaps best remembered as Alice from a number of the 'Joe McDoakes' film shorts. She was born Jane Ellen Harker on Aug 1, 1922 in Evanston, Illinois. In 1946 she became a Warner Brothers contract player, and made her screen debut in "Her Kind of Man" (1946). Jane went on to numerous cinematic appearances including "Deception", "Night and Day", and "Humoresque" (all 1946) while building a following by posing for several 'cheesecake' magazines both domestic and foreign. In 1947 she had her best known film role in "Unfaithful", also was seen in "Love and Learn" and "Possessed", and made the first of her eight appearances as Alice McDoakes opposite George O'Hanlon as Joe. Jane was last seen on screen in the 1948 "So You Want to Build a House" then essentially dropped from view. She lived out her days in Minneapolis, passing away on July 21, 2000, aged 77.
