Coneguda sobretot pel seu paper de Lina Lamont, una estrella del cinema mut, la veu de la qual compromet la seva carrera quan arriba el cinema sonor, a la comèdia musical Cantant sota la pluja.

（1923 年 8 月 3 日 - 1977 年 8 月 29 日出生于Jean Shirley Verhagen）是一位美国女演员，以在《雨中曲》（1952 年）中饰演莉娜·拉蒙特而闻名，并因此获得奥斯卡最佳女配角奖提名。哈根还因在电视连续剧《为爸爸腾出空间》中饰演玛格丽特·威廉姆斯（1953-56）而三次获得艾美奖喜剧系列最佳女配角提名。

她的电影处女作是在斯宾塞·特雷西和凯瑟琳·赫本 1949 年由乔治·库克执导的经典电影《亚当的肋骨》中饰演一个滑稽的蛇蝎美人。《沥青丛林》（1950 年）为哈根提供了她与斯特林·海登 （Sterling Hayden） 一起的第一个主演角色。哈根在扮演“娃娃”康诺弗时获得了极好的评价，康诺弗是一个坚持在罪犯迪克斯身边直到痛苦结局的女人。她也出现在黑色电影《小街》（1950）中，扮演一个黑帮老大真诚但不太聪明的夜总会歌手女友。

哈根最令人难忘的是她在《雨中曲》中的喜剧表演，饰演虚荣而无才华的无声电影明星莉娜·拉蒙特。她凭借这一令人难忘的表演获得了奥斯卡最佳女配角提名。

到 1953 年，她加入了电视情景喜剧《为爸爸腾出空间》的演员阵容。由于饰演丹尼·托马斯（Danny Thomas）的第一任妻子，哈根获得了三项艾美奖提名，但三季后，她对这个角色越来越不满意并离开了该系列。据报道，托马斯也制作了这部剧，他并不欣赏哈根离开这个成功的系列，她的角色被杀死而不是重新塑造。这是第一个在家庭情景喜剧中被杀死的电视角色。一年后，玛乔丽·洛德（Marjorie Lord）被选为丹尼的第二任妻子，并在该系列的剩余时间里成功地与托马斯（Thomas）演对手戏。

1957年，哈根与人共同主演了阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克（Alfred Hitchcock Presents）的一集，名为“两个人的绳子够了”，描绘了一个女人，她陪伴着两个小偷试图从沙漠矿井中取回赃款。然后，她在 1960 年哥伦比亚广播公司选集系列《杜邦秀》中饰演伊丽莎白，与琼·艾莉森合作;次年，她客串出演了《安迪·格里菲斯秀》的“安迪与女飞车”一集。

尽管她经常客串各种电视剧，但哈根无法成功地恢复她的电影生涯。在与弗雷德·麦克默里（Fred MacMurray）一起出演迪斯尼喜剧《毛茸茸的狗》（1959）后，哈根在她职业生涯的剩余时间里扮演配角，例如玛格丽特·勒汉德（Marguerite LeHand），富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福（Franklin Delano Roosevelt）的私人秘书在坎波贝洛的日出（1960）中，以及贝蒂·戴维斯（Bette Davis）的朋友在《死亡铃声》（1964）。在 1960 年代，哈根的健康状况开始下降，她住院或接受医疗护理多年。很久以后，在 1976 年，她卷土重来，在电视连续剧《星空与哈奇》和《旧金山的街道》中扮演角色。然而，她于次年在电视电影《亚历山大：黎明的另一面》中最后一次露面。

Jean Hagen (born Jean Shirley Verhagen, August 3, 1923 – August 29, 1977) was an American actress best known for her role as Lina Lamont in Singin' in the Rain (1952), for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Hagen was also nominated three times for an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Margaret Williams (1953–56) on the television series Make Room For Daddy.

Her film debut was as a comical femme fatale in the Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn 1949 classic Adam's Rib, directed by George Cukor. The Asphalt Jungle (1950) provided Hagen with her first starring role alongside Sterling Hayden. Hagen received excellent reviews playing "Doll" Conover, a woman who sticks by criminal Dix's side until the bitter end. She appeared too in the film noir Side Street (1950) playing a gangster's sincere but none-too-bright nightclub-singer girlfriend.

Hagen is best remembered for her comic performance in Singin' in the Rain as the vain and talentless silent movie star Lina Lamont. She received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for this memorable performance.

By 1953, she had joined the cast of the television sitcom Make Room for Daddy. For her portrayal as the first wife of Danny Thomas, Hagen received three Emmy Award nominations, but after three seasons, she grew dissatisfied with the role and left the series. Thomas, who also produced the show, reportedly did not appreciate Hagen's departing the successful series, and her character was killed off rather than recast. This was the first TV character to be killed off in a family sitcom. Marjorie Lord was cast a year later as Danny's second wife and played opposite Thomas successfully for the remainder of the series.

In 1957 Hagen co-starred in an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents titled "Enough Rope for Two", portraying a woman who accompanies two thieves trying to retrieve stolen money from a desert mine shaft. She then appeared as Elizabeth in the 1960 episode "Once Upon a Knight" on CBS's anthology series The DuPont Show with June Allyson; and the following year she guest-starred on The Andy Griffith Show in the episode "Andy and the Woman Speeder".

Although she made frequent guest appearances in various television series, Hagen was unable to successfully resume her film career in starring roles. After appearing with Fred MacMurray in the Disney comedy The Shaggy Dog (1959), Hagen for the remainder of her career played supporting roles, such as Marguerite LeHand, personal secretary to Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Sunrise at Campobello (1960), and the friend of Bette Davis in Dead Ringer (1964). In the 1960s, Hagen's health began to decline and she spent many years hospitalized or under medical care. Much later, in 1976, she made a comeback of sorts playing character roles in episodes of the television series Starsky and Hutch and The Streets of San Francisco. She, however, made her final acting appearance the next year in the television movie Alexander: The Other Side of Dawn.
