Edit ProfileCareer
She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In her early British films, she performed under the name Jean Carson, but later changed her given name to "Jeannie" to avoid confusion with the similarly named American actress Jean Carson. Carson became an over-night star in Love From Judy, a musical by Hugh Martin and Jack Gray, and produced by Emile Littler, that played at the Saville Theatre in London from 1952 to 1953.
After producer Max Liebman saw her in that production, he signed her to a contract to appear on television in the United States.
