Talk:Jean Rogers

Discovery unclear
It's not clear how she was "dicovered" by Hollywood. The article says that in 1933 she won a beauty contest sponsored by Paramount Pictures that led to her career in Hollywood. But later it says she was one of seven women chosen out of 2,700 passengers on excursion boats and ferries who were interviewed for roles in the 1934 film Eight Girls in a Boat. Eight Girls in a Boat was a Paramount film - so was "get noticed on a boat" the beauty contest? And she apparently had only a bit part in Eight Girls in a Boat - what happened with that?

 * , I don't have the answer to your question, but I will point out that the content about interviews of women selected from passengers is cited to sources, whereas the content about winning a beauty contest is unsourced. (I added a "Citation needed" template after reading your post.)
 * We have two newspapers' reports about the women selected from interviews versus no documentation about the beauty contest. I would give more credibility to the interviews than to the pageant. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:34, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
