In 2018, she added her voice to the #MeToo movement, alleging an assault when she was 22 by the late department-store heir Alfred Bloomingdale... 'At 95, time is not on my side, and neither is silence. I simply want to add my name and say, 'Me too.'
Her big break came when she sang an operatic aria for servicemen at the Hollywood Canteen. MGM hired her for a brief role in 'Bathing Beauty' the next day, then Warner Bros. signed her.
Her salary rose to $1,000 weekly as the studio kept her busy in lightweight films. She worked on movies such as 'Two Guys from Milwaukee' and 'Romance on the High Seas.'
