Justine Johnstone (January 31, 1895 – September 4, 1982) was an American stage and silent screen actress who retired to become a pathologist and expert on syphilis. She also was part of the team that developed the modern intravenous drip technique. [Autumn Stanley, "Mothers and Daughters of Invention; Note for a Revised History of Technology", Rutgers University Press, 1995]

She attended Emma Willard School in Troy, New York. An original Ziegfeld Follies performer and a performer in the Folies-Bergere, she appeared in the 1917 Broadway production "Over the Top", which starred Fred Astaire.

Johnstone was married to producer Walter Wanger on 13 September 1919; they divorced in 1938, with Johnstone claiming that Wanger was "abrupt, surly, and discourteous". [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,931038,00.html]

After giving up performing, Johnstone (now known as Justine Wanger) enrolled in Columbia University, where she studied plant research and served as a research assistant to Samuel Hirschberg and Harold T. Hyman. With them she was partner in developing the development of the modern I.V. unit. She later studied and made developments in endocrinology and cancer research and installed a laboratory in her house in Hollywood. [Autumn Stanley, "Mothers and Daughters of Invention; Note for a Revised History of Technology", Rutgers University Press, 1995]

Justine Wanger died in Santa Monica, California from congestive heart failure, aged 87.
