Rogers starred in serial films in the 1930s and low–budget feature films in the 1940s as a leading lady. She is best remembered for playing Dale Arden in the science-fiction serials Flash Gordon (1936) and Flash Gordon’s Trip to Mars (1938).
Rogers continued freelancing until retiring in 1951. Because she starred mainly in low-budget films, she was never a top star. She died in Sherman Oaks in 1991 at the age of 74. Take a look at these fabulous photos to see the beauty of young Jean Rogers in the 1930s and 1940s.
