BETTY GARRETT
The actress is shown with actors Danny Thomas, George Murphy and
Robert Preston in this black and white publicity photograph for the 1948 film
Big City.
Photograph signed: "Betty Garrett", B/w 10x8. Betty Garrett
(1919-2011) made her stage debut in Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre in 1938,
in a production of Danton's Death, and debuted on Broadway in the 1942
musical revue Of V We Sing. Garrett broke onto the silver screen after
MGM saw her performance in another Broadway revue, Call Me Mister
(1946-1948). Her energetic dancing and acting often earned her second lead in
musicals early in her career. However, her film career was ruined when her
husband Larry Parks admitted to the House Un-American Activities Committee that
he was a Communist. Most of her roles after this were on TV, including
recurring roles as Irene Lorenzo on All in the Family (1973-75), which
earned her a Golden Globe in 1975, and Edna Babish on Laverne and Shirley
(1976-1981). She was nominated for an Emmy for a guest star appearance as
Molly Firth on Becker in 2003. Lightly worn at edges. Otherwise, fine
condition.
