Jeanette Helen Morrison (July 6, 1927 – October 3, 2004), known professionally as Janet Leigh, was an American actress. Raised in Stockton, California, by working-class parents, Leigh was discovered at 18 by actress Norma Shearer, who helped her secure a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
Leigh’s beauty and elegance in the 1950s made her one of the most beloved and photogenic actresses of Hollywood’s golden era. With her porcelain skin, expressive eyes, radiant smile, and graceful demeanor, she embodied a blend of wholesome charm and sophisticated glamour that appealed to both audiences and directors.
She had the quintessential 1950s movie star appearance—polished, poised, and styled to perfection. Whether in elaborate gowns or casual attire, she radiated a refined femininity that made her a favorite for fashion shoots and film roles alike.
Leigh played everything from sweet ingenues to strong-willed heroines. Her performances in films like Scaramouche (1952), The Naked Spur (1953), My Sister Eileen (1955), and Touch of Evil (1958) demonstrated both her acting talent and visual charisma.
During the 1950s, Leigh often appeared in studio promotional photos wearing elegant evening gowns or swimsuits, with poses that highlighted her figure—especially her famously admired legs—without ever losing a sense of class.
