Early life and career
She was born Rosalind Saindon on 11 September 1915 in Chicago.{{Citation needed |date=August 2024}} She was the sixth of eight children of Leopold Saindon, an usher of modest means, and Cora Vadeboncoeur. She was educated there at St. Patrick's Academy, before winning a beauty contest at the 1933-34 Century of Progress also in Chicago. She was always a talented singer and moved to New York City, where she worked extensively in theatre, before moving to Hollywood. However, Warner Bros. studios mismanaged her career, and despite three lead roles she never succeeded as an actress. In 1938, aged 23, she returned full-time to her singing career. While working as a backing vocalist for Edith Piaf on a US tour, she met her second husband, Ed Axton, and gave up the stage permanently.{{Citation needed |date=August 2024}}
