Miss Dinah Shore: A Biography
Before Oprah…before Ellen…there was Dinah Shore.
She was the queen of the afternoon talk show.
For over five decades, Dinah induced a state of joy into people wherever she appeared, a love affair between her and her audience.
In the fickle world of popular music, Dinah had a longer run at the top than any other girl singer, and on television, she had no equal in the musical field. Arguably, she was “the first lady of television.â€
Dinah’s life, however, was not always easy. She was a Jewish girl growing up in the Deep South and, at an early age, suffered a bout with polio. Later, as she was just achieving success as a radio/recording artist, a vicious rumor threatened to scuttle her career.
Romantically, the lady was been involved with many men, from her first husband, actor George Montgomery, to Frank Sinatra, to her May/December affair with Burt Reynolds.
Then, there were the clandestine relationships.
Miss Dinah Shore is the candid story of a beloved woman whose career spanned almost all aspects of show business, from radio, records, movies, television variety and talk shows: a remarkable journey.
