She played the role for nearly two years, and garnered rave reviews. 2 She is a staunch conservative Republican. 3 She has developed a new autobiographical cabaret show in 2010 that she has been performing to great acclaim in Los Angeles and San Francisco. 4 Stepmother of Joanne Gilbert . 5 Got her start working as a singer at the Hollywood Canteen, where she was discovered by a Warner Brothers talent scout. One of her first film roles was co-starring in the Warner Brothers film, Hollywood Canteen (1944), where she plays a Warner Brothers messenger girl working at the canteen. 6 During her Broadway run of "The Pajama Game" in the mid-'50s, she accidentally developed poison oak.
