Evelyn Dall (born Evelyn Mildred Fuss; January 8, 1918 – March 10, 2010) was an American singer and actress.[2]
Born in The Bronx, New York City, as Evelyn Mildred Fuss, she took her stage name from the surname of two grandchildren of President Franklin D Roosevelt.[1] Dall began her career in short films and in supporting roles on Broadway. In 1935, she was invited to become the female vocalist for Bert Ambrose and his Orchestra, in the UK, where she remained until 1946. She was known there as Britain's "Original Blonde Bombshell".
In 1946, she returned to the United States where she married and raised a daughter and son. Widowed in 1974, Dall moved to Jupiter, Florida, in 1980, then to Arizona in 2002.
