DOLORES GRAY

'Dolores Gray' (7 June,1924 – 26 June,2002) was a Tony Award winning Broadway actress during the 1940's-1950's.
During her successful music career, she sang Marilyn Monroe's part on the Decca records soundtrack album of ''There's No Business Like Show Business'' (1954) (Monroe herself sang on the film's soundtrack, but she was under contract to a different company.)
In 1955, she briefly signed with MGM and appeared in such films as ''Kismet'' and ''It's Always Fair Weather''. Her final televised appearance was in the ''Doctor Who'' serial entitled ''Silver Nemesis''.
Among her many stage roles, she appeared in ''Two on the Aisle'' (1951), ''Carnival In Flanders'' (1953); ''Destry Rides Again'' (1959); ''Sherry!'' (1967); and ''42nd Street'' (1986). She also performed in ''Annie Get Your Gun'' in London (1947).
She died of a heart attack in Manhattan, aged 78.
She was known more for the stage than in films. One of her biggest regrets she recalls is, "What a gift that would be to have more of a permanent record. A stage performance is just that, then it's lost. When I see movies on TV, I think, 'How great to have that.' But why look back? The decisions I made, I made. I can't change that."
