The Disappearance of Jean Spangler A Touch from the Past

    • History

Jean Spangler was a triple threat in Hollywood, she could sing, she could dance, and she could act. She was an up-and-coming actress who was working hard to make her way in her career while raising her daughter as a single mother.
On October 7th, 1949, Jean disappeared. She was last seen at the Farmer’s Market near The Grove and her purse was found at the entrance of Griffith Park on Fern Dell Drive with a note inside that led police to question Hollywood heartthrob Kirk Douglas about the woman’s disappearance.
