Entertainer. One of the most celebrated performers of the Broadway Musical stage. Her loud, brash singing style made her an overnight sensation when she belted out "I Got Rhythm" in the 1930 production of Girl Crazy. Among her most notable Broadway performances were Anything Goes, Panama Hattie, Call Me Madam, Gypsy, Hello Dolly and "Annie Get Your Gun" in which she sang her signature song, "There's No Business Like Show Business." She recreated several of her Broadway roles on the big screen and also co-starred in the classic comedy It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, but she never received the acclaim in Hollywood that she received on the Broadway stage.
