She was the YANK Pin-up Girl "Yank" (USA) 16 April 1944 and "Yank" (USA) 31 March 1944
Gloria spent some time as a Hollywood actress making about 6 movies from 1944 to 1946.
- I have very little info about Gloria, sadly. I don’t even know if Gloria Anderson was her real name. Gloria was born, I assume, in the late 1910 or early 1920s, and lived in New York in the early 1940s. She worked first as a Powers Model, then as a chorus girl in the Broadway show, Stars and Garters. There she met dance director Georgie Hale, who was a Broadway staple in the 1920s, and worked in Hollywood occasionally. Georgie, a dancer by trade, was born in 1901, making him quite a bit older than Gloria.
- They started dating in early 1943. Not long after, George went to Hollywood to work as a dance director. They managed a long-distance relationship for a few months, and then Gloria moved to the West Coast and started her Hollywood career. She appeared mostly in musicals: Up in Arms, Show Business, Swing Parade of 1946, and Night and Day (and pretty decent ones at that, although I can’t say I like those types of movies). She also appeared in three non musical movies: Life with Blondie, another of the Blondie comedies with Penny Singleton, A Guy Could Change, a surprisingly decent romantic comedy, and Two Smart People, the best movie of the bunch, a Jules Dassin half film noir half romantic comedy.
- Gloria and Georgie briefly split in November 1944, only to reunite a few weeks later. They married during the Christmas season of 1944. They stayed in Hollywood until mid-1946, when Georgie returned to Broadway and Gloria retired.
- Their daughter Stephanie was born sometime after this (a date I believe could be correct is November 19, 1948). Georgie enjoyed major success as a producer, and their marriage was considered a very solid one. However, the couple split in mid-1955. Gloria moved out and took Stephanie with her. In 1956, Georgie was dating chorus girl Honny Gray, and Gloria was in Miami, Florida, for a divorce. Everything came to a halt when Georgie died unexpectedly on August 20, 1956.
- Gloria was officially Georgie’s widow as they were not divorced when he died. I have no idea what happened to her afterwards – there were news that she was working as a hat check girl to make ends meet. IMDB claims she made movies in 2004, 2009 and 2016, but it remains to be seen if this really is our Gloria Anderson.
- Gloria Anderson appeared in YANK magazine on 16 April 1944
