JUNE TRAVIS BIOGRAPHY & FILMOGRAPHY:
 
June Travis was born on August 7th, 1914 in Chicago, Illinois with the birth name Dorothea Grabiner.  She received her early years education from Parkside Grammar School as well as the Starrett School for Girls.

She was spotted by a talent agent and was told she should move to Los Angeles and pursue a career as an actress.  Travis studied Drama at the university of Southern California and again, her beauty began to gain her attention.
 
At the age of twenty, she was signed to a contract with Warner Brothers and began working in a number of films as un-credited roles, such as in, "Stranded" (1935).  She was given her first co-starring role in the film, "Jailbreak" (1936) with Barton MacLane.
 
Soon more roles followed such as in the films, "The Case of the Black Cat" (1936), "Ceiling Zero" (1936) starring James Cagney and Pat O'Brien, "Earthworm Tractors" (1936) starring Joe E. Brown, "The Gladiator" (1938) also starring Joe E. Brown and Dickie Moore, "Love Is on the Air" (1937) co-starring Ronald Reagan with Raymond Hatton and Eddie Acuff, "Go Chase Yourself" (1938) starring Joe Penner and Lucille Ball, "Mr. Doodle Kicks Off" (1938) and "Over the Goal" (1937). 
 
Her final film role was at the age of twenty four on the film, "Federal Man-Hunt".  She then decided to retire from the industry for good and focus on her personal life.  She married Fred Friedlob in 1940 and together they had two daughters and resided in Chicago.
 
June Travis did return to acting for two more appearances in the films, "The Star" (1952) and "Monster a-Go Go" (1965).  She did not neglect acting completely, as she still loved the art and participated in local theatrical productions such as, "Life With Father", "A View from the Bridge", "Never Too Late" and "The Pleasure of His Company".     

Her husband passed away in 1979 and she did not re-marry and remained living in Illinois until she passed away on April 14th, 2008 from a stroke at the age of ninety three.
