I’ve seen all of June’s pictures. Used to have Where Do We Go From Here and The Daughter of Rosie O’Grady. There are actually 2 people on the 2016 Oracle of Bacon Top 1000 Center of the Hollywood Universe and one is still alive. June herself was never on the list, just like her mentor Betty Grable.

Those 2 people on the 2016 list appeared with June .
Back in 2000 on the first list in 2000 (rather silly).
got it
Hey Dan
1. Thanks for the Haver lists.
2. Compared to other lists you have shared….this is like a baby….lol.
3. So Quinn and Smith keep her on the first list.
4. You are 100% correct, Haver, is not giving Caine a huge challenge for Oscar co-star records.
5. Makes you wonder how the behind the scenes, Haver and Monroe relationship was.
Good feedback a always.
I actually have the Dolly Sisters on VHS tape.
Hey Dan….I have one movie left on VHS tape….Michael Caine’s A Shock To The System…..but sadly I no longer have a VCR to play that movie.
I knew that June Haver was Fred MacMurray’s second wife until he died, but not much about her movie career. I have not seen many June Haver films – only 2 of them.
I have seen The Dolly Sisters and Love Nest. The Dolly Sisters was a fun musical. Love Nest was a quirky movie which I remember most for Monroe.
Hey Flora
1. Thanks for the comment and visit, especially since she is not really on your radar.
2. Tally count….Dan 14, Lupino 12, Greg 8, Flora 2 and Steve and myself….with the big goose egg.
3. The Dolly Sisters is the movie my mom mentioned when I talked to her earlier today….I will have to watch that one.
4. Thanks for the mini-review on Love Nest..
5. Good feedback as always.
A UMR page for Miss June Haver? Well, Mr. Cogerson, seems your knowledge about classic “more obscure” actors and actresses is rapidly improving 😉
For years, I got her mixed up with Gypsy Rose Lee’s sister June Havoc- neither of them anywhere near-famous in my native country. Still, I’ve learned quite a bit about Miss Haver and actually have come to like her. As you already mentioned, Haver was groomed to be the next Betty Grable, but that never really happened…I guess it was left to Marilyn Monroe to carry the trademark “Fox Blonde” into the next decade. Yet, Miss Haver did have her share of success, but instead of inheriting Betty Grable’s throne, her boxoffice clout started to diminish with the advent of the 50’s. If her 40’s musicals were polished Technicolor Affairs, 1951’s Love Nest is more of a black and white programmer, doing more for Monroe than for Haver. Back to Technicolor musicals for her last outing in 1953, Haver was second billed to Dan Dailey- and left Hollywood to become a nun in real life. Forced by illness to leave the convent for medical treatment, she never returned. She met, what seemed to have been the love her life (and former costar) Mr. Fred MacMurray, the two married (her second) in 1954 and stayed that way until his death in 1991. They were introduced to each other, by the way, by The Duke himself, and as staunch Republicans were friends with Ronald Reagan and Nancy Davis. Enough trivia, I have seen 12 of her films, and I enjoyed them all. Special mention to her co-starring part in Betty Grable’s The Dolly Sisters, her swansong The Girl next Door, Oh You Beautiful Doll, The Daughter of Rose O’Grady and Home in Indiana.
Thanks for this page on “The Pocket Grable”, who was charming and talented- and a nice person in real life if what I read about her is halfway true, but who seemed to lack that extra little something that would have made her stand out in the long run.
Hey Lupino.
1. Thanks for stopping by and checking out our June Haver page.
2. Glad you like the selection….but….I have to give 100% credit to Mike….as he was the one that wanted some box office information on her.
3. I was talking with BERN1960 today….and I told her that we had done the Haver page….and she went right into some of the personal information….like leaving movies to become a nun…..and how much she liked her movies….who knew she was so popular.
4. Good trivia on the MacMurray/Haver personal life….now that is a good group of people to call friends.
5. Tally count….Dan 14, you 12, Greg 8, Flora 2 and Steve and myself….with the big goose egg.
6. Good to know she was a good person off-screen.
Good stuff.
Hmmm have to confess I’m not familiar with June Haver.
Looking at the chart – I haven’t seen any of them… and the only film that rings a bell is The Dolly Sisters, probably because I worked on a Betty Grable video last year.
Hey Steve,
Here is another interesting tidbit about June Haver. Supposedly, she was gonna leave show business in the mid 1950s to become a nun but, after a few months in a convent, she ran off and married actor Fred MacMurray who had been one of her co stars in the 1945 movie entitled WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?. During their marriage, Haver and MacMurray adopted two kids and she eventually spent the rest of her life as a stay at home wife and mother.
Hey Steve. You and I are in the same boat. But through the power of the commentors here….my knowledge of Haver has been greatly expanded. Thank you Greg and Lupino. I figured when I answered Mike’s request…and that we had all of her movies…..might as well do a page on her. I think The Dolly Sisters was easily her most famous movie….IMDb list her “known for” movies as Love Nest, Three Little Girls in Blue, Look For The Silver Lining and Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay! ….so further proof that I have a lot to learn when it comes to Ms. June Havers….also known as Mrs. Fred MacMurray. Thanks for the comment and the visit.
Absolutely LOVE June Haver and out of the fourteen movies listed on this page, I have seen eight of them with the two movies she made with Mark Stevens- I WONDER WHO’S KISSING HER NOW and OH, YOU BEAUTIFUL DOLL -being the best of the bunch in my humble opinion. Just my opinion but Haver and Stevens had the potential to be one of the silver screen’s great duos had they made a few more movies together. The other June Haver movies I have seen are THE DOLLY SISTERS, LOVE NEST, THE DAUGHTER OF ROSE O’GRADY, LOOK FOR THE SILVER LINING, IRISH EYES ARE SMILING, and WAKE UP AND DREAM.
Hey Greg.
1. Tally count……mmmmm……I have not seen a single one of her movies. Actually I am only really aware of The Dolly Sisters, Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay! and Love Nest.
2. So your 8 crushes my total.
3. I got a request by Mike for some June Haver box office….and when I was researching her movies…I realized that 10 were already in the database….and her remaining 4 movies had easy to find box office numbers. So since I had her entire career done…I figured I would do a page on her.
4. Another surprise was the truly impressive box office career she had…11 of the 14 movies crossing $100 million (adjusted) ….wow did not see that coming.
5. Interesting to read your thoughts on the Mark Stevens/June Haver screen team…makes me want to check out their movies.
6. Glad a June Haver fan was able to enjoy this page.
It is pages like this one that make me glad we do this website…..it makes me realize that I actually know very little about movies….lol.
Good stuff.
