Judy Holliday

Judy Holliday (June 21, 1921 – June 7, 1965) was an American actress. Born Judith Tuvim in New York City, she was the only child of Abe and Helen Tuvim - Jewish immigrants from Russia. Her first job was as an assistant switchboard operator at the Mercury Theatre run by Orson Welles and John Houseman. She began her show business career in December of 1938 as part of a nightclub act called "The Revuers". The other four members of the group were Betty Comden, Adolph Green, Alvin Hammer and John Frank. The Revuers were a staple of the New York nightlife scene until they disbanded in early 1944.
