No, too bad of an actor to be credible.

This girl gets to Broadway because of her small town connection. Her family come from the same town as a bigshot producer. Her mother talks to his mother etc.
Hint: emphasis on the Song--singer

I was a fairly popular young actress in the '50's. I co-starred with Robert Wagner. I even danced with Fred Astaire. But my real fame lies in my liasion with a Hollywood Legend, who was not an actor or performer.

I'm so glad you mentioned Vincent D'Onofrio. I just love him. I can't stand "Law & Order" type shows--but I never miss him. You really know an actor is great when he rises above the material.
Now on the other hand, I can barely tolerate the girl opposite him--but with him in the frame, she's barely noticeable.

Yes!--Apparently he worked alot on his own apart from the Astaire movies.
Lana is up--

I must have read the same book as you.
This actor had a hard time getting started because no one would take him seriously. People thought he had too much money and social status to really want a serious acting career.

The small town girl does try acting, but her real talent is more in song and dance.

Off the top of my head--I would have said a big star like coop or Fred MacMurray--
But my research leads me to a man who, I thought belonged to Kay Francis and BD, but Stanwyck had him 5 times.
George Brent is a much underrated actor, screen presence and sexy man. That says it all.

Singers who all appeared in The Marx Bros movies--
Jones--"Night at the Opera", "Day at the Races"
Martin--"The Big Store"
Baker--"At the Circus"

Shirley was great because her teacher was the Greatest Tap Dancer of All-Time:
Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. Throughout her life, they had a close relationship. He was like a real uncle to her. Bo had a very similar, but mature relationship with the world's 2nd greatest tap dancer, Eleanor Powell.

Cinerama --you win the Cujas for today--This guy is simply off everybody's radar screen.
Of Course the movie was Capra's "Plantinum Blonde"-1931.
Hope to play with you alot in the future.
Cinerama Rick--Come on Down!

Now you're an economist?

You're very hot--
The girl has a small town connection with a big Broadway theatre producer.
-
The only person I know about is the Louis Jordan issue in the *Paradine Case*--Hitch wanted Robert Newton. But that wasn't a leading man role--Of course he didn't want Peck either, but don't remember who he preferred.

Small-town girl is determined to succeed by using town connections. Her family is fatherless and people in the small town feel sorry for them. Well-to do mother talks with her mother to help. Because the well-to-do mother has a son who is a Broadway producer.
Repeat hint: girl wants to act--but her real talent is singing.
