I saw her in Merton of the Movies with Red Skelton. Outstanding.

She was beautiful. There is a fitness model named Wenona who has the same facial features as V*rginia. She could actually play her in a film.Very uncanny.

Flipping through channels I came across The Big Store and paused to watch a few minutes. I was fortunate to do this just as Miss O`Brien was to do her lullaby number. It amazed me. I`m in aw. I keep reading that she was suddenly dropped by MGM. Anyone know why?

V*rginia is my favorite. She was a stunning beauty and a talented singer. I just adore her.
