What?

I'm watching GRIT and...[censored]?

A reliable featured player and occasional co-star, actress Jeff Donnell was born Jean Marie Donnell in a boy's reformatory in South Windham, Maine in 1921. The younger of two daughters, her father (Howard) was a penologist...

Apparently her nickname was Jeff from her loving Mutt and Jeff comics so much that she adopted the nickname Jeff as a kid.

Interesting.
But how was this beautiful young lady born in a boy's reformatory?
Now I'm watching a western with Richard Pryor as leading man. It's pretty bad but I'm enjoying it.
Pic of Gloria Grahame just because she is nice to look at.
