Dorothy
Collins
- - Born Marjorie Chandler in Windsor, Ontario on November 18, 1926, DOROTHY COLLINS began her professional singing career at age 14. Although she is known primarily as the lead singer on the long-running 1950s NBC television show "Your Hit Parade," Collins was also featured in "Candid Camera," where she displayed a lively flair for comedy. Her first Top-20 single charted in 1955 . . .
She and first husband, Raymond Scott, had their own record label; she surprised her fans with a number of critically well-received jazz performances. She was also very successful with night club engagements. Her work in various musical programs on television in addition to "Your Hit Parade," including appearances with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, and many others, showed her to be one of the finest vocalists of her era. Her best work, however, may have been in the musical theatre, where she starred in the original cast of the legendary Broadway musical, Stephen Sondheim's "Follies." For her work, she was nominated for a Best Actress in a Musical Tony Award in 1971. Dorothy Collins passed away in.1994 . . .
