This approachable blue-eyed blonde with a striking, open-faced beauty had a very encouraging career going for her in 30s Hollywood but extenuating circumstances hurt her chances in the long run. In less than a decade and a half June Lang was out of pictures altogether . The marriage to Morgan, who later became a businessman, ended bitterly in 1954 and June never remarried. In later years both her mother and daughter lived with her in her North Hollywood home. Daughter Patricia dedicated her life to working with handicapped children, at one time working for the Lowman School in the Los Angeles valley area. June died shortly after her 88th birthday and was buried at Forest Lawn Cemetary in Los Angeles.
Has a daughter
Perky, fresh-faced "B" heroine in the tradition of Piper Laurie with a number of lightweight features coming her way in the 30s.
Her second marriage was to mobster Johnny Roselli. She fell hard and didnt know at the time that he was a Mafia boss (he had passed himself off as an aspiring movie producer). Her studio eventually tore up her contract when his real occupation came to light. Although she divorced Roselli when he ignored her pleas for him to go legit, her career never recovered. Ironically, Roselli did go legit for a time in the 50s when he was promoted to associate producer by producer Bryan Foy , an old friend, for Eagle-Lion Pictures.
According to Gordon Hunter, who wrote a lengthy article about June in the March 2009 issue of "Classic Images," Junes film career lost all momentum in 1938 after Fox Studio mogul Darryl F. Zanuck sent her to England for filming. June felt threatened by the looming aspects of war in the country at the time and insisted on leaving for her safety. The studio informed her she would be terminated if she did. Nevertheless she and her mother returned to the U.S. and her contract was over. Her subsequent marriage to Mafia henchman Johnny Roselli in 1939 was the final nail in the career coffin.
The dumbest thing I ever did in my life was marry--each time. I did not,choose wisely in my husbands. I do not, though, like being unmarried.
Believing all this, I failed to prepare for the day when I would be let,out. .
