Pat Morrissey, Buxom blonde, singer and piano rubber

Born in Philadelphia in January 1929, Pat Morrissey made her debut on the Horn & Hardardt Children's Hour. Pat was on the show for a year before moving to New York for three years where she attended Children's Professional School, studied tap and ballet dancing. the big moment came when Sophie Tucker needed a little girl for a one-line spot in one of her shows. The line was "Bless my Mommy and my Daddy." and Pat jazzed it up! When she returned to her home town, Pat had the lead in all the plays at Olney High School.

Her big break was in 1951 when on a Florida vacation Pat and some friends were dining at Mother Kelly's famous retaurant. One of the party dared her to get up and sing, and Pat, shaking, called their bluf.  It was at that moment, as she approached the piano, that Pat saw what was to become her sanctuary at all club appearances -- the bend on the baby grand. Leaning in that comforting curve began to sing "Baby, It Must Be Love," a song she had heard as a child. The reaction was tremendous. On the strenght of her impromptu performance Pat was offered a job there.

Then she hit the road, performing in New York, London, Vegas and Hollywood. According to a few reviews, she created quite the impression.

She recorded for Decca (1953-1955), Mercury (1956-1957) and Addison (1960). Then, she headlined at her own nitery located atop Eros Restaurant on the near Chicago north side.

 Joey Heatherton

Davenie Johanna "Joey" Heatherton (born September 14, 1944) is an American actress, dancer, and singer. A sex symbol of the 1960s and 1970s, she is best known for her many television appearances during that time. She was a frequent variety show performer but also had a number of acting roles. Heatherton performed in front of U.S. troops for over a decade on USO tours presented by Bob Hope. She starred in several feature films, including My Blood Runs Cold (1965) and The Happy Hooker Goes to Washington (1977). Wikipedia

Regarding Bob Hope and the USO tours, Mamie Van Doren says it all here :

Today, Bob Hope is best remembered for his movies, hosting the Oscars numerous times, and his frequent USO tours. But, while these facts alone paint a wholesome picture of the entertainer, not everyone agrees with that assessment. In a tweet posted on March 30, Mamie Van Doren called Hope a "miserable human being," while also calling out his motivation for working with the USO and oft-reported womanizing ways.

Bob Hope chose women for his USO tours that he thought he could sleep with.

Grant Anderson was a 20-year-old corporal when assigned the enviable duty of guarding Joey Heatherton when Bob Hope's troupe came aboard the USS Bennington for a three-day visit.

I stuck to her like glue. Everywhere she went, I went. I stood guard outside her cabin, I walked with her wherever she went throughout the whole ship, I even stood by the stage and waited for her to finish and walked her back to her cabin.

I had to keep 2,000 or so sailors and Marines away. That was very hazardous duty, especially when the officers tried to use their authority to get by me. They would give me all these silly reasons as to why they needed to talk to her—that they were part of the show, they wanted to set up a schedule for eating arrangements, and I said, I'm sorry, my orders are that nobody is to contact her directly, and that means nobody.

Nobody. Including Bob Hope certainly.
