Diana Lynn(1926-1971)

She was a child prodigy and pianist at age 10. Her first movie was There's Magic in Music (1941) aka Magie musicale (1941), under the name Dolly (a short version of her real name, Dolores) Loehr. She signed a long-term contract with Paramount in 1942 and had her name changed to Diana Lynn. She had good parts in Uniformes et jupons courts (1942), Miracle au village (1943), and Our Hearts Were Young and Gay (1944). She got fewer roles as she matured; she did do Ma bonne amie Irma (1949) and Irma à Hollywood (1950), based on the popular radio sitcom, and Les Aventures de Bonzo (1951), and had a nice career on TV. Her first marriage was from 1948 to 1954 to architect John C. Lindsay (no children); then, on December 6, 1956, she married Mortimer C. Hall, president of L.A. radio station KLAC. His mother was Dorothy Schiff, then publisher of the New York Post. She had four children with him between 1958 and 1964. They moved to New York City so he could assume a post on his mother's paper. Diana Lynn passed away on December 17, 1971, of a stroke/brain hemorrhage in Los Angeles.
