Evelyn Laye (1900 1996)
opular singing stage of the London light-opera stage in the twenties and thirties. Imported to Hollywood by producer Samuel Goldwyn in 1930, British operetta star Evelyn Laye immediately laid an egg. It wasn't her fault, though; she was extremely pretty and competently sang "Along the Road of Dreams" but One Heavenly Night's libretto was totally manufactured and leading man John Boles stiff as a board. As a consequence of the operetta failure, Goldwyn refused to ever cast Laye, Boles, Lilyan Tashman, and even comedian Leon Errol in any future ventures. Spent the war years as entertainments director of the Royal Navy, performing frequently for the troops. She was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in 1973 for her services to drama.
