Dorothy Collins
Dorothy Collins (November 18, 1926 – July 21, 1994) was a Canadian/American singer, actress, and recording artist. She was born Marjorie Chandler in Windsor, Ontario, Canada,〔(Sheila Rule, "Dorothy Collins obituary", ''New York Times'' (July 23, 1994), p. 27 )〕 and adopted her stage name in her mid-teens.
==Radio and TV==
As a youngster, Collins sang on radio stations in Windsor and Detroit. In 1940, at age 14, she and her family were introduced to bandleader/composer Raymond Scott in Chicago. Shortly thereafter, she became Scott's protégée. In early 1942, at age 15, she became a featured vocalist with Scott's orchestra, performing on radio and on tour. Scott groomed her for stardom, which included coaching her vocals (pitch, phrasing, and delivery) and mentoring her performance skills. In the late 1940s, she contributed vocals to the revived Raymond Scott Quintette, a sextet that released records on the bandleader's own Master label and served as house band on the radio program ''Herb Shriner Time''. In 1949, after Scott was hired to conduct the orchestra on the popular CBS Radio program, ''Lucky Strike's Your Hit Parade'', Collins was trained by Scott to lead his sextet on tour in his absence.
In 1950, ''Your Hit Parade'' moved to NBC television, with Scott retained as conductor. Shortly thereafter, at Scott's urging, Collins auditioned for a vocalist slot and was hired. She shot to nationwide fame as one of the show's featured vocalists, singing—and acting in costume—in sketches dramatizing popular songs of the day. After her absence from ''Your Hit Parade'' during the 1957–58 season (a new cast of singers replaced Collins and her fellow vocalists), Collins returned for the series' final season on CBS Television ending in April 1959.〔Newcomb, Horace.("'Your Hit Parade' Listing" ) ''Encyclopedia of television'', CRC Press, 2004, ISBN 1-57958-411-X, pp. 2619–2620〕
Collins often appeared as spokeswoman/vocalist in Lucky Strike cigarette commercials during the program〔https://archive.org/details/LuckyStrikeCigarettesCommercialWithDorothyCollins〕〔https://archive.org/details/tobacco_jpv08h00 video at 09.16 for the Your Hit Parade episode of 24 Dec 1955〕 and on their other sponsored series (including the Jack Benny radio show) via transcription disc, earning the title, "The Sweetheart of Lucky Strike." Her additional TV credits include ''The Steve Allen Show'', ''The Bell Telephone Hour'', and ''The Hollywood Palace''. On ''Candid Camera'', she was both a participant in the stunts and co-host with Allen Funt from 1961 to 1963.〔 In 1961 she occasionally guest-hosted a short-lived Carol Burnett and Richard Hayes CBS Radio Network show.
