Timeline

1940

The daughter of a West Virginia druggist, Joanne Dru came to New York in 1940. In New York she worked as a model and was cast by Al Jolson as one of the showgirls in his Broadway play "Hold Onto Your Hats.

1941

" When the show closed in 1941, she married popular singer Dick Haymes and went with him to Hollywood.

1946

Discovered by a talent scout while working in the theater, Joanne made her screen debut in Abie's Irish Rose (1946), and that picture almost ended her career.

1948

Two years later she "redeemed" herself with her role in the classic Howard Hawks western Red River (1948).

1949

She followed that with another western, John Ford's She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), again playing opposite John Wayne. Unfortunately, her success in those two classics resulted in the scripts being submitted to her consisting of mostly westerns, and she got typecast (this from a woman who said, "I simply hated horses. . . ").

Even though she played in films other than westerns--All the King's Men (1949), The Pride of St.

1950

In 1950 she was cast in another John Ford western, Wagon Master (1950), which became the basis for the Ward Bond TV series Wagon Train (1957).

By the late 1950s westerns were running out of steam and so was her screen career, so she turned to TV, where she appeared on shows such as Days Of Wine & Roses - Cliff Robertson & Piper Laurie, "Playhouse 90" Original TV Version (1956).

1952

Louis (1952) and Hell on Frisco Bay (1955), for example--it was the westerns for which she was remembered.

1954

Dru and Zsa Zsa Gabor worked together on 3 Ring Circus (1954) but did not like each other and clashed often. After one particular incident in which Dru got the better of Gabor, Zsa Zsa said, "I'll get even with you if it takes forever." Dru replied, "It probably will, but aren't you rather old to talk about a future?".

1955

Her marriage to John Ireland broke down due to his affair with Queen Bee (1955) co-star Joan Crawford.

1960

In 1960 Joanne was cast in the role of the Eastern owner of a dude ranch in the comedy series Guestward Ho! (1960). Perhaps even funnier is that she would play an Easterner after all those westerns is the fact that her character name was Babs.

1975

Her mother was president of the Motion Picture Mothers 1975-1976.
