a 1934 wampas baby star, blonde, blue - eyed jean carmen is remembered today solely for playing the
stallion rider
in the 1937 republic serial the painted stallion. for unexplained reasons, the studio billed her julia thayer in this and the same year' s three mesqueteers oater gunsmoke ranch but she was jean carmen again by 1938. the daughter of a ballerina, carmen / thayer had entered films in the early' 30s as a riding double and bit player for hal roach. subsequent to her early screen career, she appeared on radio and in two successful broadway plays: stage door and the man who came to dinner. she retired from show business to marry in the 1940s and is not the later jeanne carmen, a busty starlet of the 1950s. — hans j. wollstein, rovi

with few movie jobs being offered, jean did stage work... and began writing plays :
judith arlen, betty bryson, jean carmen (alias julia thayer), helen cohan, dorothy drake, jean gale, hazel hayes, ann hovey, lucille lund, lu anne meredith, gigi parrish, jacqueline wells (alias diane duval and julie bishop), katherine williams. mary kornman, dorothy granger, lenore keefe, naomi judge and irene ware were pronounced alternates .

in 1945, jean and irish owen authored the comedy
last house on the left
and there was a pre - broadway tryout in hartford, connecticut. the leads were jean... and gene barry, best remembered as tv' s bat masterson. the play was not successful and never made it to new york .
frank reighter and the three stooges research group got in contact with jean' s relatives. she had broken her leg but it had not set properly. she had surgery on the leg and passed away at the hospital from heart failure. jean was cremated in charleston, south carolina, and her cremains were spread in the atlantic ocean .
bigger film roles were not in the cards for carmen / thayer. after the painted stallion, she free - lanced, doing bit and minor supporting parts - an example is jean as one of the three
singing sisters
in the three stooges western themed short, yes, we have no bonanza (columbia, 1939). she was unbilled in this two - reeler which starred moe / larry / curly vs. baddies dick curtis and lynton brent .
magazine :
jean carmen, a striking blonde, is also in the' big money.' she makes as much as seventy - five dollars a week and works with fair regularity - but, ironically, her beauty has little or nothing to do with the demand for her services. she is a' stunt - woman,' ready and willing to take the risks for hollywood' s high - salaried stars .

jean carmean made it to hollywood in the early 1930s... and her last name was shortened to
carmen
. she was at rko and one of the starlets selected as a 1934 wampas baby star. that group of lovely ladies publicized two films, paramount' s kiss and tell and mascot' s young and beautiful. (wampas was an abbreviation for the western association of motion picture advertisers and there' s a section on the old corral with listings of all the wampas winners) .
unsure when barrett and jean split, but probably circa 1959 - 1960, and there' s records indicating he married two more times and re - located to california due to a job change .

appears that jean (and her husband) were wealthy. real estate info shows their second home in greenwich, connecticut was at 353 north street in the gold coast area. there were 5 bedrooms, 5 baths, 4500 square feet, and the home was purchased in 1959 and sold in 1986. scroll down to the bottom of this real estate listing and jean was the sole owner of the property :

:
born in portland, oregon on april 7, 1913, this lady' s film career spanned a half - dozen years during the 1930s. existing biographies mention that as a youngster, jean worked on the stage in fanchon and marco revues; she developed horse riding skills and performed in circuses; her mother was a ballet dancer; more. perhaps some or all of that happened. however, in the census for 1910, 1920 and 1930, parents john carmean (born ohio) and wife agnes (born norway) appear to be just plain hard workin' folks. in all three census, father john is a

and no occupation is shown for wife agnes. in addition to jean, there was an older brother john l. (jr. ?) and a younger sister named carol .

: because of ties, wampas presented no less than 15
babies
in 1932. one, lillian miles (of reefer madness fame), failed to show up (she was apparently getting married) and faced disqualification. toshia mori, the only non - caucasian to be honored, earned the nod instead .

: officially due to the depression, wampas cancelled the year' s selection. unofficially, the reason was too much studio interference .
: the last year of the wampas selection was mainly to publicize two films, paramount' s kiss and tell and mascot' s young and beautiful. the
babies
appeared as a group in both, but there was no
frolic
!
the wampas idea was ruined by the major studios who were loath to sponsor girls not under exclusive contracts. thus, the period saw such competing
selections
as
paramount protegees of 1935
( wendy barrie, grace bradley [ boyd ], katherine demille, gertrude michael, gail patrick, ann sheridan) ;
the 1936 flash lighter starlets
( helen burgess, frances gifford, kay hughes, janice jarrett, rosina lawrence, joan perry, cecilia parker, barbara pepper, june travis, helen wood) .
for 1938, the movie companies selected their
lucky 13
starlets: mary maguire, jane bryan, mary russell, jacqueline wells (later, julie bishop), phyllis brooks, betty jaynes, helen troy, olympe branda, barbara read, joan woodbury, sigrid gurie, franciska gaal and margaret tallichet .
in 1940, the motion picture publicists association selected 13
baby stars
(
the mapa baby stars ?
). they were: ella bryan, lucia carroll, peggy diggins, lorraine elliott, jayne hazard, joan leslie, kay leslie, marilyn [ lynn ] merrick, gay parkes, lois ranson, sheila ryan, patricia van cleve, tanya widrin .
an last and probably least: in 1956, a group of veteran stars - among them wampas baby ginger rogers - chose a bevy of beauties supposed to be known as - the wampas baby stars. but there was no longer any western association of motion picture advertisers and the idea fizzled. the selection took place nevertheless and 15
babies
were chosen: phyllis applegate, roxanne arlen, joleen brand, donna cooke, barbara hoffman [ eden ], jewell lain, barbara marx, lita milan, norma nilsson, ina poindexter, violet rensin, dawn richard and, finally, delfin thursday (delfin thursday? !) .
