Asks for Divorce

DEANNA TO SHED MATE
HOLLYWOOD - (INS). After a separation of two years, Deanna Durbin is asking for a divorce from Felix Jackson.
The papers filed late Monday by her attorney, Laurence W. Beilenson, charged desertion and mental cruelty.
Deanna, who at one time was the most popular teen-age girl on the screen, married Jackson in LAs Vegas June 13, 1945. They separated Jan. 6, 1947. Jackson went to New York, where he has made his home for the past two years. He is in television and, according to Deanna, doing very well.
She waited until she was financially secure before she filed for divorce.
Deanna said today that there is no other man in her life, and she plans to take her daughter, Jessica, 3 1/2, for a trip to Europe. She will also ask custody of the child.
Jackson, who is many years older than she, directed some of her pictures and wrote the stories, turning the youthful singing star into a sophisticated actress. Fans preferred Deanna as she was in earlier pictures.
The first trouble between the Jacksons happened over these motion pictures, which were made at Universal-International.
Jackson had been married three times before his marriage to Deanna. She was first married to Vaughn Paul when she was 18 and was at the height of her fame. She is now 27.
