Frances Langford

Frances Langford (born Frances Newbern), won fame on radio (primarily as Bob Hope's vocalist, later sparring comically with Don Ameche as Blanche in The Bickersons) via recordings and in the movies. As the 'Sweetheart of the Fighting Fronts' Ms. Langford undertook some of the most dangerous morale-boosting work of the war as she trouped alongside Hope, guitarist Tony Romano and comedian Jerry Colonna
