Judy Canova (1913–1983)

Actress | Soundtrack

Raucous singing and yodeling and loads of cornpone humor was pretty much the whole shebang when it came to singer/comedienne Judy Canova. Her outlandish image may be considered tacky and/or offensive by today's measure, but back in the 1930s and 1940s it really worked! By the time she left the limelight after five decades...

Personal Quote:

[on her long string of rural-themed films at Republic Pictures] Sure, they were fairy tales that had a little upbeat lesson. I started out as a plain Jane, an ugly duckling, and ended up as a beautiful girl decked out in fancy dresses. I was the heroine, the country bumpkin, honest and straightforward who won out in the end... See more »

Trivia:

A 1938 publicity stunt had Canova break her engagement to ventriloquist Edgar Bergen. The cause of the breakup was supposedly dummy Charlie McCarthy. See more »
