Shirley Ross (January 7, 1913 – March 9, 1975) was an American actress and singer, notable for her duet with Bob Hope, "Thanks for the Memory" from ''The Big Broadcast of 1938''. ==Early musical career== Ross was born Bernice Maude Gaunt in Omaha, Nebraska, the elder of two daughters of Charles Burr Gaunt and Maude C. (née Ellis) Gaunt. Growing up in California,〔("Father of Charles Burr Gaunt" ) posted on October 23, 1999 by Caren Lea, Ross' niece. "I am looking for the parents of Charles Burr Gaunt, born in Iowa 1886. Worked as telegrapher on railroad. Later moved to Omaha, Nebraska and married Maude Ellis. They had 2 daughters and moved to California around 1923."〕 she attended Hollywood High School and UCLA,〔United Press: ("Co-Ed Crashes Gates of Hollywood Studio" ), ''The Pittsburgh Press'', December 26, 1933, p. 18.〕 training as a classical pianist. By age 14, she was giving radio recitals〔("Cello Virtuoso in Recital" ), ''The Los Angeles Times'', June 15, 1927, p. A13. "Cello Virtuoso in Recital: BERNICE GAUNT - Pianist, SAMUEL - Cellist, Los Angeles Railway Orchestra Broadcasts."〕〔Dr. Ralph L. Power: ("GERMANS WILL TALK OVER KHJ" ), ''The Los Angeles Times'', August 4, 1927, p. A-5. "Interesting bits of juvenile entertainment on the child hour at KHJ last evening included the 13-year-old pianist, Bernice Gaunt."〕 and made her first vocal recordings at 20 with Gus Arnheims’s band. Here she attracted the notice of the up-and-coming songwriting duo Rodgers and Hart, who selected her to sell their latest offerings to MGM. One song, which was later re-written as "Blue Moon," led to a successful screen test in 1933 and then to a number of small parts in films that included ''Manhattan Melodrama'' with Clark Gable.
