Mini Biography

The reigning musical diva of her time, opulent Broadway star/comedienne Vivienne Segal received remarkably short shrift when it found Hollywood offers (she made just five musical films through the 1930s) and is currently probably less regarded today because of the snub. Prodded by an average stage mom who had taken quick see of her daughter’s budding soprano tone of voice, Vivienne was on stage by age group 15 and discovered her early state to fame among the Big Apple’s most well-known ingénues. Producing her NY debut in “The Blue Heaven” in 1915, she continued to surface in “My Lady’s Glove” (1917), THE TINY Whopper (1918), The Yankee Princess (1922) and Florida Female (1925). A scene-stealing function came her method playing “Constance” in Florenz Ziegfeld Jr.’s 1928 creation of Rudolf Friml’s “The 3 Musketeers”. Hollywood perked its ears because of this and Warner Bros. agreed upon her on because of their early-sound pre-Code musical automobiles in 1930. Melody of the Western world, Bride from the Regiment and Golden Dawn all arrived that year and everything failed miserably, the final one considered among Hollywood’s biggest musical turkeys ever. Vivienne fared a little better in her 4th musical film of this calendar year, the Romberg-Hammerstein operetta Viennese Evenings (1930), but, conserve for helping Jeanette MacDonald and Ramon Novarro within a vampish function in 1934’s The Kitty as well as the Fiddle (1934), she quit on the movie theater, completely. Ironically, Vivienne’s greatest years were however to arrive when she produced a triumphant go back to Broadway with a brand new cutting-edge picture. Rodgers & Hart’s “I Married an Angel (1938) where she sang “Springtime IS HERE NOW” reopened the doorways and her witty interpretation of “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered” as socialite “Vera Simpson” in “Pal Joey” relit her celebrity all over. Wise, elegant and devilishly dried out, the 1943 revival of Lorenz Hart’s “A Connecticut Yankee” allowed Vivienne to try out the particularly fatal “Morgan le Fey”. She offered a deliciously wicked making of the music “To Maintain My Like Alive” where she expounds on her behalf various husbands’ regrettable but required demises. Once briefly wed to passionate main character Robert Ames (1889-1931) in the 1920s, she later on married article writer/maker/TV professional Hubbell Robinson, Jr. They separated in 1962 but by no means divorced. He passed away in 1974. Vivienne spent her staying years from the limelight within a humble Hollywood house. She passed away at age group 95 in 1992.
