Biography

Jeanne Bates embarked on her acting journey during her tenure at San Mateo Junior College, initially making her mark on radio soap operas in San Francisco. She assumed the lead role in Lew X. Lansworth's popular airwave mystery series, "Whodunit", where her iconic scream became the show's signature element. The program's immense success led to a significant milestone, as it, along with Bates, relocated to Hollywood in 1941. Prior to her marriage to Lansworth in 1943, Jeanne Bates had already secured a contract with Columbia Pictures, marking the beginning of her Hollywood career. Her debut film appearance was in a Boston Blackie mystery, setting the stage for a long and illustrious career in the entertainment industry.
