JUNE PREISSER  (June 26, 1920 – September 19, 1984) was an American actress, popular in musical films during the late 1930s and through the 1940s, many of which capitalized on her skills as an acrobat.
June was signed to a film contract by MGM. Her first film, Dancing Co-Ed (1939), provided only a small part, but her next film, Babes in Arms (1939), gave her a significant role opposite Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland. She performed with Rooney and Garland again in Strike Up the Band (1940), and with Rooney in two "Andy Hardy" films, Judge Hardy and Son (1939) and Andy Hardy's Private Secretary (1941).
In 1940, Preisser appeared in Gallant Sons, a comedic murder mystery. The following year, she played her first lead role opposite Jimmy Lydon in Henry Aldrich for President (1941), and followed this with Sweater Girl (1942), opposite Eddie Bracken.
She left to MGM and began working for Monogram Pictures. Preisser continued to appear in musical comedies over the next few years, and played the character Dodie Rogers in seven comedy films with Frankie Darro and Noel Neill from 1946 to 1948. She made final film appearance in Music Man (1948). After appearing in a Los Angeles theater production of Annie Get Your Gun, Preisser retired from acting.
After retiring from acting in the early 1950s, Preisser taught dancing and acrobatics in Los Angeles. She then moved with her son, Richard Josiah Terry, to Boca Raton, Florida. From 1972 until her death, Preisser worked at Pompano Office Supply with her son.
In the early morning hours of September 19, 1984, Preisser was the passenger in her son’s car when the two were involved in a fatal car accident in Pompano Beach, Florida. Richard Terry died at the scene while Preisser died of her injuries at North Broward Medical Center.
