- Actress

As a baby, she was winning beauty contests; as a teenager, with good
looks and an attractive contralto voice, she was singing with big bands
(most notably Enric Madriguera's orchestra in Latin Club Del Rio in
Washington, D.C.. She met Rudy Vallee, her first husband, on the radio
where she also enjoyed a brief stint as a singer. At age 15, an attack
of palsy left her face partially paralyzed. She claimed that it was
through facial exercises to overcome the paralysis that she learned the
efficacy of facial expression in conveying human emotion, a skill she
was renowned for using in her acting.
