Singer, actress Lina Romay dies at 91
Romay's son, Jay Gould, says his mother died Dec. 17 of natural
causes at a hospital in Pasadena.
Romay began her entertainment career by touring as the Cugat
orchestra's lead singer.
A performance with the orchestra in the 1942 Fred Astaire and
Rita Hayworth film "You Were Never Lovelier" led to roles in some
15 other films and appearances on the Milton Berle Show, the Red
Skelton Show and other TV programs.
Her show business career ended in 1953, but from the late 1970s
into the 1980s, she worked as a Spanish-language radio announcer
for horse races at Hollywood Park Racetrack.
