She modeled in New York – working for milliner and dress designer Hattie Carnegie. Just gorgeous.
What did they call her at Metro in the Forties? Technicolor Tessie!
I think her hair was first dyed red for “Du Barry Was A Lady” – and it stayed that way for the rest of her life.
Okay, now I have to watch the whole thing… Wasn’t she a snooty red headed night club singer who was awful to Skelton and in love with Gene Kelly???
