She made her movie debut in Andy Hardy’s Private Secretary, part of the series starring Mickey Rooney. Her beautiful soprano voice was showcased in classic movies such as Anchors Aweigh, opposite Gene Kelly. She also played the lead in Show Boat and Kiss Me, Kate, both co-starring Howard Keel, as well as The Toast of New Orleans and That Midnight Kiss with Mario Lanza.
