Then she telephoned her father in
Nashville. Il just want money to
eat dinner, that's ALL" she sobbed
my father was scared" she says.
He'd opposed my singing career up
to that point, but he said, If you like
to- work that much you stay there
and I'll wire you some money. After
that things started moving and I
got job to sing at the Strand
Theater with band for $75 week"
But fate had not yet finished tor

acts in Thank Your Lucky Stars"
but of her acting she says, Il don't

Jimmy Stewart when he's here. But
I want to look them all over care

once. It's important to have some
sort Of pattern to cling to in your
mind or you're likely to be carried
away"
Dinah was perturbed when the
gossip columns had her clipping with
Glenn Ford I'VE were at a bond

on the way home" she explains
The next day it was in all the
papers that we were madly in love.

to stay home than to go out dancing.
I was raised in Nashville, Tenn,
