From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Jean Rogers (born Eleanor Dorothy Lovegren on 25 March 1916 in Belmont, Massachusetts; died 24 February 1991 in Sherman Oaks, California) was an American actress, who is best know for her role as Dale Arden in the Flash Gordon serials of the 1930s and 1940s.
As a teenager, she won a local beauty contest sponsored by Paramount Pictures, which helped launch a career in Hollywood. Rogers starred in a number of serials for Universal from 1935 to 1938, including Ace Drummond and Flash Gordon. Fearing that she was becoming a "serial queen", she asked the studio to allow her to do feature films, which they abliged. She eventually left Universal and started working for 20th Century Fox, and shortly before retiring in 1951, she moved on to working for MGM.
Rogers is said to have become an artist after retiring.
