I was so happy to find a fan mailing address for actress Jean Hale in California recently. Jean has a very memorable role as ‘Cheryl Barker’, an actress fighting for her preeminence in Hollywood in one of my favorite Stephen Boyd movies, The Oscar (1966). If you’ve seen The Oscar, you can’t forget Jean Hale. She’s Frankie Fane’s first arranged ‘date’ on the Hollywood scene, and it seems Fane learns whatever conniving tricks he can from her character in order to break it big in Hollywood! As his star rises, hers begins to fall. Fane turns the table on Barker quite nastily in one of The Oscar’s most famous moments: The ‘Green Goddess Salad’ dump.
So I sent Jean some questions, and she was so very kind to answer me along with a lovely autograph. Below are her responses and some great pictures of Jean Hale from The Oscar!
