Suzette Harbin (July 4, 1915 — September 5, 1994) was an African-American actress and dancer.

Early life

Suzette Marquin Harbin was from Ledbetter, Texas. She was raised in California, first in Pacific Grove, California, and then in Los Angeles; she graduated from Jefferson High School in 1934, soon after the school's buildings were destroyed in the 1933 Long Beach earthquake.[1]

Career

Suzette Harbin worked as an artists' model in Los Angeles in the 1930s.[2] Harbin's film appearances included roles in So Red the Rose (1935), Up Jumped the Devil (1941), Cabin in the Sky (1943), Stormy Weather (1943), I Dood It (1943), Jam Session (1944), To Have and Have Not (1944), Ziegfeld Follies (1945), Look-Out Sister (1947),[3] The Foxes of Harrow (1947),[4][5] The Pirate (1948), Sky Dragon (1949), Destination Murder (1950), The Cimarron Kid (1952), Skirts Ahoy! (1952), Lydia Bailey (1952), Bomba and the Jungle Girl (1952),[6] The Green-Eyed Blonde (1957).[7] She was also in an episode of the television program Wagon Train (1958).[8] She was sometimes told that she was "too pretty" for the roles available to African-American actresses in mainstream films of the 1940s and 1950s.[9]

In 1954, Harbin went to Korea to give 25 performances for American troops at military installations there, headlining the "first all-Negro entertainment package to tour Korea."[10] She also toured military bases in Alaska that year, in a troupe where she was the only African-American performer.[11] In 1960 she retired to the Monterey Peninsula and directed children's theatre; she also worked as a Monterey County juvenile officer. She moved back to Texas in 1980, and worked as a tour guide at the airport in San Antonio.[1]

Personal life

Suzette Harbin married Hildred Claude Johnson in 1938, and for a time used the name Suzette Harbin-Johnson.[2][12] She was injured in a car accident in 1952.[13] She married caricature artist Calvin Bailey in 1954.[14][15] Harbin died in 1994, aged 79 years, in San Antonio, Texas.[1]
