Diana Lewis (September 18, 1919 – January 18, 1997)[1] was an American film actress and a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer contract player.
Early years
The daughter of vaudeville performers,[2] Lewis was born in Asbury Park, New Jersey. She attended Fairfax High School in Los Angeles.[2][3]
Career
Lewis was a singer with the orchestra led by Larry Leeds.[4]
She began her film career in It's a Gift (1934) and worked steadily over the next few years, usually in minor roles. Her more notable films include It's a Gift, Gold Diggers in Paris (1938), Go West (1940), and Johnny Eager (1941). She was the love interest of Andy Hardy as Daphne Fowler in Andy Hardy Meets Debutante (1940).[5]
Marriage
Lewis met actor William Powell, who was 27 years her senior, at MGM in 1940.[6] They married at a dude ranch in Nevada on January 5, 1940,[7] after a courtship of less than a month.[6] She retired from acting in 1943. Lewis became known as Mousie Powell after her marriage.[8] Lewis was a supporter of the LPGA tour. She was an honorary member and established the William and Mousie Powell Award in 1986, though it was renamed in 2019. The couple remained together for 44 years until Powell's death at age 91 in 1984.Шаблон:Citation needed
