June Collyer (August 19, 1906 – March 16, 1968) was an American film actress of the 1920s and 1930s.

Biography

Sœur de l'acteur Bud Collyer (1908-1969) et belle-sœur de l'actrice Marian Shockley, elle contribue sous le nom de June Collyer — nom de naissance de leur mère —, entre autres pour Fox et Paramount, à seulement trente-deux films américains (outre quelques prestations comme elle-même), dont six muets, le premier sorti en 1927. L'année suivante (1928), elle figure au nombre des treize jeunes actrices (dont Sally Eilers et Lupe Vélez) recevant le WAMPAS Baby Stars.

Elle apparaît notamment dans trois réalisations de John Ford, La Maison du bourreau (1928, avec Victor McLaglen), Les Quatre Fils (1928, avec James Hall et George Meeker) et The Brat (1931, avec Sally O'Neil et Alan Dinehart), ainsi que dans le film musical Kiss Me Again de William A. Seiter (1931, avec Bernice Claire, Edward Everett Horton et Walter Pidgeon). Son dernier film est Le Démon dans la brume de Robert F. Hill (avec Lloyd Hughes), sorti en 1936.

Mentionnons aussi le western Dude Ranch de Frank Tuttle, sorti en 1931. La même année, elle épouse Stuart Erwin (né en 1903), l'un de ses partenaires dans ce film, et sera désormais connue également comme June Erwin. Son mari meurt le 21 décembre 1967, moins de trois mois avant son propre décès.

Après son retrait du grand écran, June Collyer revient toutefois à la télévision, d'abord dans la sitcom The Stu Erwin Show (130 épisodes, diffusés de 1950 à 1955, dont le couple Erwin est la vedette), et enfin, lors d'un épisode (réalisé par Franklin J. Schaffner et diffusé en 1958) de la série Playhouse 90, à nouveau aux côtés de son époux.

The three take refuge in the nearby home of Dr. Kent, a friend of Ames. One of Kent's patients, who is staying at the house, is acting strangely, and the others in the house tell the newcomers that she is behaving this way because it is the anniversary of her husband's murder.

Kitty Bellairs (Claudia Dell), a famous flirt of her day, comes to Bath for the season. Early on in the film she declares that "in spite of her thirty or forty affairs, I've lost not a bit of my virtue." Her path is strewn with a number of conquests, including an enamored highwayman, a lord and some others who hang on her every word. A highwayman stops her coach as she is on her way to Bath and is immediately raptured by Kitty Bellairs. He trades the loot from the passengers for a kiss from Kitty who feels she should "yield" in order to protect Lord Varney's (Walter Pidgeon) life who has gallantly come to defend her honor.
