Starlet</strong><br /></em><br />Irene Manning may not be a common household name today- but in the middle of the 1940's she starred in some of the biggest films at Warner Bros. with some of the biggest STARS of Warner Bros.<br /><br />From Gene Autry to Dennis Morgan.. and Humphrey Bogart to James Cagney.. Irene Manning was more than just a pretty face. She was a bonafide star.<br /><br />Born Inez Harvout on July 17th, 1912, Manning was initially billed to her audiences as 'Hope Manning' before a name change.<br /><br />Her first film was a western called 'The Old Corral' in 1936 where she starred alongside none other than classic Western star Gene Autry.<br /><br />While the next few years saw her in some forgettable affairs- it wasn't until 1942 when she broke out in a starring role in the War-era Warner Bros. classic 'Yankee Doodle Dandy' as Fay Templeton. The film also starred James Cagney, Joan Leslie and Walter Huston in this musical potrait to dancer/singer/composer George M. Cohan and proved to be a huge success for the studio.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCSo7H41fQ6wIhx_4UVUhnfDm9izg3MVmSjjRG2AOC21ItBEsbDKaqgUJD1isAARkWMFkmuCJn1EAd7-Ec0e-9kCNyz9wU3AamWUjDvXiQTEemZV91IYV_mhXWuy-W41ToOAeCsRUrcgk/s1600/yankeedoodle.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 265px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506066021894061570" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCSo7H41fQ6wIhx_4UVUhnfDm9izg3MVmSjjRG2AOC21ItBEsbDKaqgUJD1isAARkWMFkmuCJn1EAd7-Ec0e-9kCNyz9wU3AamWUjDvXiQTEemZV91IYV_mhXWuy-W41ToOAeCsRUrcgk/s320/yankeedoodle.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/199vkl88RC0?fs=1&hl=da_DK"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/199vkl88RC0?fs=1&hl=da_DK" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />That same year she starred opposite Humphrey Bogart in the often forgotten film noir 'The Big Sleep' where Bogart did what he did best- played a tough-as-nails hood wrestling with the law.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguTWFjMEV22Gb3tE05BUEjl2wIrQgE1asiofY5jlBC5pgxP8iQSlwevvZUAipupV6k3glgwda5U5aqFWNvSG8uR8g3sYdYQ7LnE116hUe5MGhn0B5NqyyxGsy2i5kjlDzLql506oJhpg4/s1600/bigshot.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 247px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506066189134915058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguTWFjMEV22Gb3tE05BUEjl2wIrQgE1asiofY5jlBC5pgxP8iQSlwevvZUAipupV6k3glgwda5U5aqFWNvSG8uR8g3sYdYQ7LnE116hUe5MGhn0B5NqyyxGsy2i5kjlDzLql506oJhpg4/s320/bigshot.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/91YDoSLj7nU?fs=1&hl=da_DK"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/91YDoSLj7nU?fs=1&hl=da_DK" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />1943 saw Manning appear opposite Dennis Morgan in 'The Desert Song' before finishing out her contract with Warner a few years later.<br /><br /></div><div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5aFuabLFo0BNmMgbhctUnd-jJrRGcP_6rCC2hYH-hoGsydJG-TE-thHKx_mavZzIvrDD00Nb0_2Bb724fSjmhEX3PafmrEGwmTwDiBzWk5e6o3lRtiyDCY0dco1FRncBBG84qgFFZvaw/s1600/desertsong.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 296px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506066181354565474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5aFuabLFo0BNmMgbhctUnd-jJrRGcP_6rCC2hYH-hoGsydJG-TE-thHKx_mavZzIvrDD00Nb0_2Bb724fSjmhEX3PafmrEGwmTwDiBzWk5e6o3lRtiyDCY0dco1FRncBBG84qgFFZvaw/s320/desertsong.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Manning passed away on May 28th, 2004.<br /><br />This interview originally aired in 2001.
