We remember Helen O'Connell (1920-93)




We remember Helen O'Connell who was born in Lima, Ohio, on this day in 1920.      

Her career took off in 1939 when she recorded "Green eyes" with Bob Eberly and the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra.   It was followed by other best sellers like "Tangerine" and "Amapola".

In the 1950's, Helen worked on NBC's "Today Show."   She was also the hostess of the Miss Universe Pageant plus the spokeswoman for Polaroid cameras for several years.

She died in 1993.
