Marion Hutton
Opera Singer
Vocalist with the Glenn Miller Orchestra who performed with the group for nearly twenty years, helping to release hits like "Kalamazoo" and "Chatanooga Choo Choo."
She and her sister survived a rocky childhood, with their mother running a bootleg liquor operation from the family home and the police frequenting their residence often.
She had two brief hiatuses from the Miller Orchestra: once after a collapse from exhaustion, and later for maternity leave; both times she was welcomed back.
Her younger sister Betty Hutton was also a popular stage and film actress.
She worked with entertainers like Bob Hope and Bing Crosby.
