An Original Vintage Theatrical 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Ginny Simms (born Virginia Simms) was an actress and singer from the 1930s to the 1950s. She was born in Texas but moved to California as a child, and in college there, she formed a singing group and the trio got their own program on a radio station in 1935. She was signed by Kay Kyser in 1937 and appeared in three movies with him, singing solos. In 1941, she got a national radio show. Around that time, she started making lots of appearances at Army and Navy bases, helping the morale of soldiers and sailors during World War II. She was voted #1 radio singer in many polls during World War II. In 1944, she signed with MGM and finally had some straight acting roles. Some of her movies include: Disc Jockey, Hit the Ice, and Playmates. She passed away in 1994 at the age of 78. Important Added Info: Note that this still has a photographer stamp on the back which gives the photographer's name as "Welborne", but that is a misspelling, because his name was actually "Welbourne" (we imagine the stamp maker might have gotten fired over it!). Also note that this still measures 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
