Jane Fenmore Barnes (August 17, 1910 – March 20, 1998) was a film and theatre actress in the United States during the 1930s. A Bay Stater, she originally studied to become a concert pianist before deciding to become an actress instead, spending several years on the theatre circuit along with radio dramas and modeling before becoming a film star for Fox Studios. Cast in multiple major and minor film roles from 1934 through 1937, she then returned to theatre work to hone her acting skills before marrying actor Carlyle Moore Jr. in August 1937.




Career


Born as Jane Fenmore Barnes in Mansfield, Massachusetts to Mr. and Mrs. Clarence A. Barnes, Barnes attended the Wykeham Rise School for Girls and studied to become a concert pianist. Ultimately, however, she changed her mind on her career choices and instead signed a contract with Fox Studios to become an actress. Before signing, she had worked as a secretary for her father's Representative office before obtaining acting experience by appearing for two years in the Phidelah Rice Players theatre group in Martha's Vineyard. At the same time, she also performed in radio dramas and was featured as a model on magazine covers.
While on a chartered ship, the SS Virginia, from New York to Los Angeles in 1933, Barnes' voyage encountered a hurricane in the Caribbean sea, though she was uninjured. She eventually arrived at Movietone City to begin film work. Not long after arriving, she also began taking pilot lessons in secret, so that she could fly her own plane back home. In a 1936 contest to find the "Perfect Extra" that had 8,000 women competing, Barnes was chosen as the winner by a group of directors from Central Casting and given a film contract. This also led to her being cast as one of the main female roles in 1937's Man of the People. In the summer of 1937, Barnes returned to her home state to learn new techniques for acting. Joining the Mary Young Company in Centerville, Massachusetts, she aimed to appear in several theatre performances to obtain, as Marjory Adams for The Boston Globe stated, that "extra bit of polish which a girl needs nowadays to compete".
