This volume is divided into eight sections, as follows: (1) a brief biography (2) a filmography of the movies in which Miss Sothern appeared. It does not purport to be an in-depth biography. This book is intended as an overview of Miss Sothern's life and career. Despite her versatility, many people identify Miss Sothern with her three most popular roles: Maisie Ravier, the down-on-her-luck show girl whom she played in ten films and on two radio series Susie MacNamara, the efficient-but-meddlesome secretary to a talent agent on TV's Private Secretary and Katy O'Connor, the ever-helpful assistant manager of a luxury hotel on TV's The Ann Sothern Show. Few actresses have played such diverse roles, from ingenues to character parts, in comedies, musicals, and dramas. After success in Broadway musicals, she returned to Hollywood where her name was changed to Ann Sothern. Ann Sothern began her career as Harriette Lake, playing small roles in motion pictures. Despite serious illness and a debilitating back accident, Miss Sothern has continued to act, receiving her first Academy Award nomination in 1988 for her seventieth film. Additionally, she produced a beautiful and talented daughter, Tisha Sterling, who has followed her into the acting profession. She has managed to combine her successful acting career with other business ventures, which include cattle breeding, a sewing center, music publishing, and two production companies. For over 60 years, she has demonstrated her talent on the stage, in film, radio and television, and as a recording artist. This book is proof that her statement was not far from wrong. Preface Ann Sothern often was quoted as saying she had played every venue in show business except fairs.
