Here is Jon Hall with Dorothy Lamour:

Oddly enough, a couple weeks ago I was looking for someone in the 1940 census, and when I found him, I discovered that on the same census page was Jon Hall, living at 12805 Sunset Blvd in Brentwood, with his wife Frances Langford, her mother and brother, and a butler and a cook:
Ancestry.com
Every place I looked on the Internet says Hall was born in Fresno, California, but here it says he was born in the Philippines. And I guess the census-taker wasn't a fan; it looks like he started to spell Hall's name
John then wrote over it.
