Musical teen queen DEANNA DURBIN who saved a studio from bankruptcy and was once the highest paid star in Hollywood has passed at 91.
Her fan club broke the sad news and no cause of death was revealed.
Born in Winnipeg, Canada Edna Mae Durbin moved with her British-born parents to Hollywood when she was just a year old.
She began to train with a singing teacher at age 10.
Deanna was initially inked to a deal by MGM and was set to costar with Judy Garland in a musical but that film never happened and Durbin moved over to Universal where she became a breakout star.
Her first starring role was in “Three Smart Girls” in 1936 at age 15 which shattered box office records and saved the floundering studio.
Appearing as a regular on the hit Eddie Cantor radio show, Deanna began recording for Decca Records.
