Mini Biography

The opulent, vivacious blonde lyric soprano Florence George was presented with just two rather routine opportunities to stake her claim in films. Therefore, she had not been given the opportunity to problem the other attractive film opera divas who have been the trend of your day (‘Jeanette Macdonald’, Elegance Moore, Susanna Foster, Lily Pons and Gladys Swarthout). Rather she remained centered on radio, concerts, recordings as well as the stage for the others of her profession. The Ohio-born beauty arrived to this world as Catherine Guthrie on December 21, 1917, the girl of Florence and George Guthrie (she took their first titles as her professional stage moniker). Gifted musically and vocally, she went to Wittenber University and graduated having a level in music in the Chicago Conservatory. She researched one-on-one with previous Italian opera celebrity Madame Amelia Galli-Curci (1882-1963) and gained several radio singing places prior to making her operatic debut in “Rioletto” in the Chicago Civic Opera Home. A Paramount skill scout occurred to catch among her shows and setup a screen check. Florence made a charming debut reverse John Payne performing with him “We Fall deeply in love with You EACH DAY” and “What Romeo Thought to Juliet,” her best second was included with her lovely single on “Occasions SUCH AS THIS”. Rather than placing her in another display, the studio mainly had her perform publicity classes and radio places. Her next film will be the MGM loanout Inform No Stories (1939) inside a supporting role. Florence married the very much older Everett N. Crosby (1896-1966), Bing’s business supervisor and older sibling, in 1939. He proceeded to steer her profession aswell and would do this until his loss of life in 1966. Purposely guiding her from movies, he concentrated her on radio, recordings, concerts right here and abroad, as well as the light operetta stage. In 1962, Everett bought Good Acres, a plantation property in Connecticut where he and Florence elevated Morgan and Arabian stallions. After his loss of life from throat tumor, she wedded Andelmo Ortiz, a creation supervisor for an marketing company, in 1970, and retired to Maryland. She passed away at age group 80 on Sept 13, 1998.
