Rose Marie

Recorded April 14th, 1971 - 22 min

Known as Baby Rose Marie, she was a child star on radio during the 1930s and as she grew up she became a variety entertainer, comedienne and actress.  She was born August 15, 1923 and was 47 when we spoke with her backstage after a performance at the Pheasant Run Playhouse in Suburban Chicago. She told how she made the transition to television in a big way when she landed a role on the now-classic Dick Van Dyke Show.

Rose Marie died December 28. 2017 at age 94.
