Was given a special Juvenile Oscar in 1938. By twenty-one, she was the highest-paid woman in the United States and highest-paid female film star in the World. Universal Pictures top star in the 1940s where she was paid $400,000 per film. She is reported as the star who saved the company. Has an older sister, Edith, a teacher. In 1980, she submitted a recent photo of herself to Life Magazine in order to silence rumors she was overweight She was the number one female box office star in Britain for the years 1939- 1942 inclusive. She was so popular that in 1942 a seven day "Deanna Durbin Festival" was held during which her films were screened exclusively on the Odeon Theatre Circuit throughout Britain, a feat that has never been duplicated for any other star. According to reports from the BBC over the past three decades, it receives more requests from the public for Durbin's films and recordings, than for those of any other star of Hollywood's Golden Age. In 1941, Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini published an open letter to Durbin in his official newspaper, "Il Popolo", asking her to intercede with President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on behalf of American youth to dissuade him from becoming involved in Word War II. She didn't. In Italy, all her films were dubbed by either Rosetta Calavetta or Lidia Simoneschi. When the reign of Universal's founder Carl Laemmle ended abruptly in the Spring of 1936, the new studio head, Charles R. Rogers quickly signed the 15-year old when producer Joe Pasternak told him her MGM contract had expired. Deanna rapidly became 'New Universal's' biggest star. She literally single-handedly saved the studio from bankruptcy in the last years of the 1930s. As a young girl, she broke her left arm and it didn't heal very well, so she wasn't able to extend it as far as her right arm.
