I doubt it.
Deanna Durbin's only children were named Jessica Jackson (from her marriage to Felix Jackson) and Peter David (from her marriage to Charles David). Therefore, neither of them carry the Durbin name, and James Durbin would not be a grandson or great-grandson.
Deanna Durbin had an older sister named Edith Durbin Heckman. So, she also lost the family name through marriage. Therefore, James Durbin cannot be her grandnephew or great-grandnephew.
I suppose it's possible that they are related somehow, but he wouldn't be a "descendant" of Deanna Durbin.
