Actor Born: April 4, 1914 in Lakeland, FL Death: July 11, 2005 in Jensen Beach, FL Biography:Actress and band singer "Frances Langford" began her movie career in 1935, playing part of a singing-sister act (with "Alice Faye" and "Patsy Kelly") in "Every Night at Eight". She flourished in the 1940s as a vocalist on "Bob Hope"'s radio program and with her own weekly series. Never a brilliant actress, Langford was often a very good one: her better films include "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (1942), in which she played turn-of-the-century entertainer Nora Bayes, and "The Bamboo Blonde" (1945), a fanciful reenactment of her many wartime USO tours. Collectors of comedy record albums will fondly recall Langford for her many co-starring stints with "Don Ameche" as the battling Bickersons. "Frances Langford" ended her show-business career in the early 1960s, opting for retirement with her third husband, the owner of Evinrude Motors. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
