Jean Hatton (born 1922) was an Australian singer and actor who was under contract to Cinesound Productions in the 1930s. She was discovered in a Deanna Durbin talent quest and cast as Cecil Kellaway's daughter in Mr. Chedworth Steps Out (1939), singing several songs. She was subsequently cast in Come Up Smiling (1939).[1] During filming she fell down two flights of stairs and was injured, causing filming to be delayed, but she recovered.[2] She later performed in concerts and radio and was generally advertised as "Australia's Deanna Durbin".[3]
