Jacqueline White

Jacqueline White (born November 23, 1922) is a former American film actress. She's probably best remembered appearing in the films noir Crossfire and The Narrow Margin. She usually played either lead actresses in B-movies or supporting parts in A-movies. Still active as of 2005, White appears occasionally at film conventions. She usually played the main character, and one of her biggest movies was Mystery in Mexico. White was under contract to both MGM then RKO where she appeared in two classics, Crossfire and The Narrow Margin.

RKO used her as a second lead in A pictures and leading roles in B films. She retired in 1950 upon her marriage to Bruce Anderson and she relocated to Wyoming with her husband who started an oil business. When she returned to Los Angeles for the birth of her first child, she was spotted in the RKO commissary visiting friends by Director Richard Fleischer and Producer Stanley Rubin who offered her a co-starring role in "The Narrow Margin" (1952). White appeared in "The Narrow Margin", a film that had its release delayed for two years while studio boss Howard Hughes considered whether to either extensively edit it or reshoot as an A with Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell. Eventually, selected scenes were reshot and added in December 1951, nearly a year after the film had originally wrapped - White was flown out from Casper, Wyoming for these added scenes -and was released mostly intact due to Director Richard Fleischer's quid pro quo with Hughes to release the picture without anymore changes in return for Fleischer's reshooting the end of "His Kind of Woman" (1951).^[1]
