From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
June Lang (born May 5, 1915 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) is a film actress.
Born Winifred June Vlasek, she originally trained as a dancer, and made her first film appearance in 1932 and gradually began to secure second lead roles in mostly "B" pictures. Noted for her fragile and demure appearance, she was usually cast as the little sister, or the best friend of the heroine in light comedies and adventure films. She graduated to leading roles, but her reputation as a wholesome leading lady was tarnished when she married a reputed mobster. Her studio released her from her contract in 1939, and although she divorced her husband a year later, found it difficult to secure film work.
She retired in 1947 after struggling to reestablish her film career for several years.
