"LIFE WITH SALT ON THE SIDE" by E.V. Durling (1946): "PASSING BY—Jane Isbell. Red-haired cinema cutie. She's from Meridian, Miss., and is related to Frank Isbell, the old White Sox first baseman…"
(Los Angeles) Highland Park News Herald, Oct. 18, 1947, p. 3: "...17-year-old Jane Isbell, one of the cutest, sweetest, most talented little red heads who ever pushed a profile in front of a movie camera. ...one of her relatives is Cecil Isbell, all-American football player and coach."
In 1943 she played the role of Jane in The Youngest Profession, with the screenplay co-written by her distant cousin Jan Isbell Fortune. (They were 5th cousins twice removed.)
(Waterloo, Iowa) Daily Courier, Nov. 30, 1947, p.22, column 8: "Jack Althouse Takes Movie Star Bride."
(Los Angeles) Eagle Rock News-Herald, Dec. 26, 1947, p.6: "Young Actress is Bride of Navy Man On November 29."

(Waterloo, Iowa) Daily Courier, March 30, 1948, p. 6: "Movie Starlet Visits Here."
Some internet websites incorrectly confuse her with a different Jane Isbell (born September 12, 1927, Sedgwick, Kansas, died April 15, 1994 in Los Angeles, unmarried), niece of baseball player Frank Isbell, but who never was an actress.
Jane Isbell Althouse, actress, was a great-great-great-granddaughter of Capt. Littleton Randolph Isbell who was credited with saving the life of Andrew Jackson. Her mother's grandfather G.W. Stone was Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court while paternal grandfather James Isbell was a 4th cousin of Alabama Governor William J. Samford.
