OverviewHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Helen Morgan was an American singer and actress who worked in films and on the stage. A quintessential torch singer, she made a big splash in the Chicago club scene in the 1920s. She starred as Julie LaVerne in the original Broadway production of Hammerstein and Kern's musical Show Boat in 1927 as well as in the 1932 Broadway revival of the musical, and appeared in two film adaptations, a part-talkie made in 1929 and a full-sound version made in 1936, becoming firmly associated with the role. She suffered from bouts of alcoholism, and despite her notable success in the title role of another Hammerstein and Kern's Broadway musical, Sweet Adeline, her stage career was relatively short. Helen Morgan died of cirrhosis of the liver at the age of 41. She was portrayed by Ann Blyth in the 1957 biopic The Helen Morgan Story Full Product DetailsAuthor: Frederic P Miller , Agnes F Vandome , John McBrewsterPublisher: Alphascript Publishing Imprint: Alphascript Publishing Dimensions: Width: 22.90cm , Height: 0.60cm , Length: 15.20cm Weight: 0.150kg ISBN: 9786131780073ISBN 10: 6131780072 Pages: 96 Publication Date: 18 July 2010 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print ![]() This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
