Jayne Regan

Bobbie Stoffregen (July 28, 1909 – March 19, 2000), known professionally as Jayne Regan, was an American film actress. Her original name was sometimes seen as Bobby Stoffregen.

Regan was the daughter of Herman C. and Anna Stoffregen. From age 2 to 15, she studied dance, drama, and singing in addition to attending Mary Institute, Loretto Academy and Cleveland High School. In 1932, she graduated (another source says that she graduated in 1931) with an A. B. degree from Washington University in St. Louis, where she was a member of Phi Mu sorority.

After Regan met Cecil B. DeMille in Washington, D. C., she went to Hollywood. Her film debut came in Thank You, Mr. Moto.

Regan acted in Western films for Reliable Pictures while attending drama school for two years. She was under contract to Twentieth Century Fox during the 1930s.

A jury found Regan negligent and awarded the plaintiff $3,500 for personal injuries in a legal case in January 1932. He said that he was injured while driving a truck that was hit by a car driven by her. She denied being negligent.

On December 21, 1937, Regan married Jerry Gose, a production manager at Twentieth Century Fox. On June 21, 1951, the couple divorced in Hollywood.
