| biography:
| Television comedienne, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Doe-eyed and pixieish, she enjoyed an extensive career in vaudeville and on Broadway before teaming up with Sid Caesar for Your Show of Shows, the acclaimed National Broadcasting Company comedy-variety series that ran 1950–4. She did not sustain her popularity after the Caesar-Coca partnership dissolved. In 1958 they reunited for a series that failed, as did her situation comedy Grindle (1963). She made rare appearances in later years. |
