Born Juliette Canova on November 20, 1913, in Starke, Florida, actress and singer Judy Canova began her career as a child in her family's vaudeville act, which moved to radio
in the 1930s with the help of Rudy Vallee. She became a popular radio personality and made a few films in the mid to late 1930s, but her film career didn't take
off until she signed with Republic in 1940. The studio put her in a string of popular low-budget films including Scatterbrain (1940; with Alan Mowbray)
and Joan of Ozark (1943; with Joe E. Brown). In combination with her long-running CBS and later NBC radio show (1943-1955), Canova had a recording contract
with RCA as a singer and was dubbed the "Queen of Corn" due to her hillbilly brand of humor. Although her films were very popular with audiences (if panned by
many critics), Canova let her film career slide in the late 1940s to concentrate on her popular radio show and her growing family.
