shareDeanna has no father is this film. Judy's piano playing father is
Richard Powell who died in an automobile accident on January 1, 1937.
Easy to see why you might think this. Carmichael was three years younger than Powell and when he appeared as piano played Uncle Butch in "The Best Years of Our Lives" (1946) there was an almost uncanny resemblance to Powell in the 1936 short film.
