Juanita Quigley was an actress from the 1930s to the 1980s. At the age of 3, she began her acting career under the name of Baby Jane. She became famous for her role as Baby Jessie Pullman in the 1934 film Imitation of Life, which lead to a large role in The Man Who Reclaimed His Head, where she was fourth billed. In 1935, she dropped the pseudonym "Baby Jane" and began being credited under her real name, and by 1938 she was one of the most famous child actors in Hollywood. Her career slowed down in the 1940s and she eventually left Hollywood in 1951 to become a nun, but after several years, she decided she had made a mistake, left her convent and later married a former priest. Her last role was as an uncredited extra in Porky's II: The Next Day. Some of her movies include: National Velvet (where she appears alongside her sister Rita Quigley), The Devil-Doll and Born to Dance. She passed away in 2017 at the age of 86.
