According to John Oller's biography "Jean Arthur: The Actress Nobody Knew" , Arthur was a shy person who came to loathe making movies, having developed a kind of stage fright something not uncommon in even great and accomplished actors; Laurence Olivier said he developed stage fright in , while playing in "Othello," after 40 years on stage that made acting in movies agony for her.
After she quit movies, she tried to make a go at a stage career, being part of the original cast of "Born Yesterday," but she dropped out during previews and was replaced by Judy Holliday.
She later gave television a crack in the mid-'60s, but the The Jean Arthur Show was canceled after half a season.

Profiled in book, "Funny Ladies", by Stephen M. Rita Hayworth said Arthur didn't speak to her when they worked together on Only Angels Have Wings , a snubbing Arthur later said she would regret.
Arthur's family regarded the Washington Heights Section of Manhattan as home. Appeared in three Frank Capra movies: Mr.

You Can't It with You won in Like other well known actresses, most notably Claudette Colbert, Arthur was most frequently photographed from the left side, cinematographers having determined that this was her most favorable angle.
As evidence of this fact, just take a look at Arizona Frank Capra, already having dealt with a similar issue with Colbert while photographing It Happened One Night , had the procedure down pat by the time he did Mr.

It's a strenuous job every day of your life to live up to the way you look on the screen. I guess I became an actress because I didn't want to be myself.
I am not an adult, that's my explanation of myself. Except when I am working on a set, I have all the inhibitions and shyness of the bashful, backward child.
I am swallowed up in my own silence. If people don't like your work, all the still pictures in the world can't help you and nothing written about you, even oceans of it, will make you popular.
I bumped into every kind of disappointment, and was frustrated at every turn. Roles promised me were given to other players, pictures that offered me a chance were shelved, no one was particularly interested in me, and I had not developed a strength of personality to make anyone believe I had special talents.
I wanted so desperately to succeed that I drove myself relentlessly, taking no time off for pleasures, or for friendships - yet aiming at the stars, I was still floundering.
That diet of roles became as monotonous as a diet of spinach. The studio wouldn't trust me with any other kind of role, because I had no experience in any other kind.
And I didn't see how I was ever going to acquire any other experience if I couldn't get any other kind of role.
It was a vicious circle. It's hardly fair for women to do the same things at the same hours every day of their lives, while men have new experiences, meet new people every day.
I felt that way as a little girl, with two older brothers around the house. It seemed to me that they led adventurous lives, compared with mine.
I felt cheated and frustrated. I became a tomboy in self-defense. I decided that I was going to do things that were exciting, or at least interesting.
I never had a chum to whom I could confide my secrets. I suppose that accounts for the fact that now it is so painfully difficult for me to open my heart and confide in people who are, so often, almost strangers.
The girl next door could live in a one-bedroom study like in Mr. You see how much this woman, in that moment, is actually enjoying the potentially scandalous situation.
They come from complete worlds, full of experience; they are realists who have gone through trials and, in some cases, are willing to believe again.
Except when I am working on a set, I have all the inhibitions and shyness of the bashful, backward child. She worked as a model in New York City, and from that she was offered a screen test with Fox Films in According to Oller, she and her mother made their way to Hollywood—which Arthur would claim happened when she was a teenager, though she was twenty-two.
Her contract with Paramount Pictures ran out in , and she became a free agent—an uncertain place to be for an actress trying to establish herself back then.
This and her disillusionment with Hollywood led her to quit the movies, for a time, and return to New York, where she took to the stage impressively , honed her craft, and gained new strength and confidence.
Arthur said of her early acting years:. I was a very poor actress in those days. You know—blah! I was awfully anxious to improve, but I was inexperienced so far as genuine training was concerned; I was horribly meek and not of sufficient consequence to be bothered with.
I presumed there was only one way to enact every emotion, and so I plugged along pretty blindly. Arthur was likely being characteristically hard on herself, but in addition to her stage work and study, perhaps she needed to figure out her twenties and settle into her thirties, to get more life and experience and self-development under her belt, before she really could break out and shine.
Arthur was averse to Hollywood publicity and the fuss that came along with being a star. She disliked having pictures taken of her, or talking too much about herself she was nicknamed the American Garbo.
She famously shunned the spotlight and preferred to stay at home and read or listen to music—and she remained that way for her entire career.
In she took a break from acting to attend college for a spell—she never completed it , and in later years went on to teach acting. She never had children; she never remarried after her second marriage, to Frank Ross Jr.
Even in her younger years, Arthur simply could not play the ingenue—she was always reaching for more, and more within herself.
When she returned to Hollywood in the early s after her time in New York, she scored a success with her first film for Columbia—the studio she had just signed with, under Harry Cohn— Whirpool , a melodrama in which she played a reporter who learns that her supposedly deceased father, a shady nightclub owner Jack Holt , is very much alive.
Viewers and critics noticed. During her time at Columbia, she became a big star and, true to her independent, artistic nature, would battle with Cohn over her contract, fighting for better parts, and was suspended for turning down roles.
She was extraordinary in both. Robinson he plays a dual role—ruthless gangster and a meek clerk—utilizing many a wondrous split-screen shot , Arthur further proved her gifts for comedy and fast repartee, playing a tough, wisecracking independent career woman—smart but sensitive.
Robinson was thoroughly impressed with her, appreciating her many contradictions. He wrote this in his memoir about the film:.
They were handsome in comments about me, but their raves were really for Jean Arthur—that curious, neurotic actress with so touching and appealing a nature that she really brought a new dimension to the screen.
No curlylocks was Jean Arthur; hardly pretty by ancient Hollywood standards, with a voice that grated like fresh peppermint, she seemed to me to be living—off- and on-screen—in a dream world of her own devising.
She was whimsical without being silly, unique without being nutty, a theatrical personality who was an untheatrical person. Deeds Goes to Town.
Of all the characters in Mr. Babe is a damn good reporter and an independent, modern woman—she shares a studio apartment with an artist friend—and she also finds herself empathetic toward Deeds.
Arthur shows these sides in small glances and expressions that build and build—you see it externally, and you feel it internally.
Throughout the picture, Arthur balances comedy and melodrama; she has the range to deliver both, seemingly with little effort.
But, of course, it did take effort. According to Capra, Arthur, always nervous about her performances, would throw up between scenes. They were wasps.
She played a divorced cosmopolitan couple in a Thin Man —esque caper, and the movie required beautifully timed delivery, crackling chemistry between the two leads, and nimble physical comedy.
Arthur met those requirements gracefully—once again making everything look so easy. In this at times baroque and gorgeously feverish picture, Arthur plays a woman attempting to divorce but trapped by a brutal, jealous husband Colin Clive.
In a terrifically complicated setup, she falls in love with a romantic French head waiter Boyer , who will not give up trying to find her, no matter how far it takes him.
This is a shimmering, stylish film, and one in which she is absolutely believable, no matter how wonderfully convoluted the melodrama gets—feigned jewelry theft, wrong-man murder case, iceberg, and all.
The way her character, Alice Sycamore, can transition between her Charles Addams—esque family home and a regular job in the real world is important—she is the balance between the lovably kooky and the hopelessly uptight.
Kirby, as he plays dueling harmonica with Grandpa Vanderhof played by a great Lionel Barrymore. Arthur excelled at that—not being too precious—no matter how lovable she could be.
You see that quality when she reteamed with Stewart, Edward Arnold, and Capra to create one of her greatest roles, the aforementioned Clarissa Saunders in Mr.
Smith Goes to Washington. Arthur had to juggle a duality in Mr. Here, she has to keep many more balls in the air: Clarissa has to regain her faith, fall in love, and then actively rescue and train Smith.
Arthur more than delivers her side of a beautiful two-hander scene from the balcony of the Senate—interacting with Stewart, whose Smith has taken the floor in the legendary filibuster that ends the film—acting while sitting, squirming, smiling, worrying, crying, and cheering for him.
It is she who is the keeper and provider of knowledge, the instrument of salvation. Just as nice, almost as smart. This picture, unlike the superb Easy Living , has not grown in reputation over the years and was considered by some a standard, even substandard, western, which is a shame.
But Arizona provides Arthur with another great opportunity to showcase a formidable western leading role as she did with Calamity Jane.
And she opens herself up to love. She really wants to settle down with Muncie, but not as merely a good little wife—she wants to start a cattle ranch with him.
And she is the one to put the wheels and money into motion. He only worries for her fearless temperament. But, in a bold move, this final confrontation happens off-screen, and the weight of the climax is shifted to Phoebe.
We watch her. Her crucial lines do not allude to what is happening outside the store, and the camera is fixed on her.
