Lucille Norman - Biography
Lucille Norman (June 15, 1921 – April 1, 1998) was an American mezzo-soprano, radio personality, and stage and film actress active in the 1940s and 1950s.
Lucille Norman's first film roles were in 1942. First, an uncredited part in the film Personalities, which was a vehicle that MGM used to showcase their new stars. Then she and Gene Kelly both made their official screen debuts singing and dancing with Judy Garland in the MGM film For Me and My Gal.
Her most memorable roles as a singer came through her national radio appearances. Foremost were her appearances on The Railroad Hour, with show host Gordon MacRae. The Railroad Hour was a weekly half-hour anthology series featuring condensed versions of hit Broadway shows. One of his most frequent guest artists, Norman made 73 appearance (some as summer hostess while MacRae was on vacation) on the show between 1948 and 1954. She also starred as mistress of ceremonies of her own half-hour CBS radio show on the West Coast, the Hollywood Music Hall. On October 21, 1952 Norman celebrated the fourth anniversary of the show.
Norman returned to Hollywood acting and singing under contract with Warner Brothers Pictures in 1951 as Abby in Painting the Clouds with Sunshine and she played herself in Starlift. She also appeared in Sweethearts on Parade in 1953. Her most notable straight dramatic role was in 1952 starring opposite Randolph Scott in the western film Carson City.
Her last acting appearance was in the television series The Colgate Comedy Hour, in which she appeared in a 1955 episode. Lucille Norman co-starred with Italian tenor Aldo Monaco on the TV special Songs of Christmas in 1963. Carmen Dragon provided the musical direction conducting The Glendale Symphony Orchestra.
