Betty Hutton

Betty Hutton is the kind of performer I wish more people remembered. Born in Battle Creek, Michigan, she became one of Paramount's most bankable stars in the 1940s with a singing-and-dancing style so explosive it practically jumps off the screen. Her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame only hints at how big she once was. What moves me is the contrast between that dazzling public energy and the struggles she faced privately across her 86 years. Her joy on film feels hard-won, and that makes it more affecting. She was a true entertainer in the fullest sense.
