Deanna Durbin - Someone to Care for Me - Kaper

14 year old singing sensation Deanna Durbin in her first movie - Three Smart Girls.

Three Smart Girls has a very similar plot to Parent Trap. In this scene, Durbin's character Penny is singing to her estranged father who has not seen her since she was a baby.

The same year, Durbin tried out for the voice of Snow White. Walt Disney rejected the 14 year old, saying her voice was "too mature".

What beautiful lyrics. Some of the words were changed for Deanna because of her age.

You're right! "Who'll never scold me, just hold me tenderly" was originally "A perfect lover to hold me tenderly". The original lyrics would sound creepy, sung by a young girl!

It's great that Youtube provides the means for young people to hear Ms. Durbin today.. I bet she gets a kick out of so many young people hearing her in 2010 ... something she would have never though possible when she was at her prime in the 1930s and 40s.

Does Deanna know that she has thousands (millions?) of new fans who have found her on youtube?. What a marvelous voice! her range was A below middle C, up to E above high C.

Almost too good to be true. But it is true - this beautiful young lady was a wonderful singer. Has anyone in films ever sung better??

I just have to applaud after listening to that. Thanks so much for posting it.

From what is posted on Wikipedia she doesn't care for the Deanna Durbin character (speaks of it in the 3rd person. I don't blame her for leaving Hollywood. That was a system that needed to be crashed. It's too bad she turned her back on that part of her life. What a legacy to have. I find it hard to believe she would completely give up singing. I'm sure she probably sings to the farm animals. It would be great if she would give an interview with her thoughts about all the posts on YouTube.

@petelovesbevsills How TRUE when you say " ,,,,,, rubbish that have the audacity to call themselves " singers " ......

[petelovesbevsills]

@TOMSLASSIE You are definitely my kind of person and to reply to your comment .....No, I don't think that she has any idea of just how many people adore her wonderful and incomparable style of singing! The ghastly rubbish that have the audacity to call themselves singers today, make me cringe and want ot hide in the deepest darkest corner!
