See your newspaper for CBS station ^ during her final year her father died and she and her mother moved to New York, where Mrs. LeCoque turned her talents to costume designing for various shows. Joanne wanted to get into show business too, but she wasn’t quite sure just what she wanted to do. She decided to try singing — and with some success, even if short lived. She sang with bandleadei Louis Prima at the Famous Door for ttco nights before her mother found out and yanked her home by the ear, feeling Joanne was too young for night-club work. Her first regular job was modeling in New York’s wholesale clothing district until she saved enough for a glamorous wardrobe and some photographs to thrust under the critical eye of John Powers.

During the evening a young singer by the name of Dick Haymes was introduced to her by her escort. When they bid each other good night, neither one of them realized they would be seeing each other again the next morning at rehearsal. But Dick Haymes was singing with the Harry James band, and there they were on the same bill at the Paramount. So for a solid two weeks Joanne listened to Dick’s love songs along with several thousand other people in the audience and fell for him. Needless to say, he also went hook, line and sinker for her. Although their bookings took them in opposite directions, romance found its way and they were married four months later on September 21, 1941. Joanne’s first view of Hollywood took
