Juanita Adamina Obituary (1921-2016)

 

She was not on the list.

Jo de Winter was born on March 5, 1921 in Sacramento, California, USA. She was an actress, known for Dirty Harry (1971), Soap (1977) and Airport '77 (1977). She was married to Robert Eggers Adamina. She died on January 17, 2016 in Los Angeles, California, USA.

She was married to Robert Eggers Adamina (December 6, 1941 - October 30, 1996) (his death, 2 children).

She was the daughter of Arthur Joseph Daussat and Blanche Marie Rodgers Daussat. Her father was from New Orleans; her mother died when she was 2 years old. After a brief period when she lived with her father in a hotel in San Francisco, she entered the Dominican Convent school in San Rafael. Her first acting experience came at age 4, when she played an injured shepherd in a Christmas pageant at the school. She attended the College of the Pacific. She also took acting classes with Ben Bard.

De Winter appeared on Broadway as Mrs. Norman in Children of a Lesser God, and in Europe onstage in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest as Nurse Ratched, a role that she originated in the play's production in San Francisco. She was praised for offering "intellectual humor... with a straight face" when she appeared in Wendy Wasserstein's Isn't it Romantic in Los Angeles in 1984.

David O. Selznick scouted Juanita Daussat when she was in a college play; she was one of the many actresses who auditioned for the role of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind.[9] While her husband was stationed in Rome, she helped to translate English-language films for Italian audiences, and provided vocal acting for some film dubbing; she also appeared in two films made in Italy, The Pirates of Capri and The Dark Road. She later appeared in the films Dirty Harry and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo.

For three years, De Winter had a recurring role as an executive secretary in The Name of the Game. She was in the regular cast of the sitcom Gloria, a short-lived spin-off of All in the Family. Otherwise, she acted in mostly single-episode appearances on television between 1965 and 2002, including The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, The Brady Bunch, Soap, St. Elsewhere, Newhart, Murder She Wrote, Frasier, The Munsters Today, The John Larroquette Show, and the Gene Roddenberry pilot, Planet Earth.

In 1989, de Winter played Marie Antoinette in a six-hour radio drama, Bastille, produced by the University of Chicago on WFMT in Chicago, Illinois. She also played Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton in a production of Hamilton & Burr, with the California Artists Radio Theatre.
