A gifted soprano, composer Marc Blitzstein was delighted with her voice and expanded her role in Juno to include three major songs: I Wish It So, For Love, and My True Heart, as well as a duet with Shirley Booth, The Bird Upon The Tree. The show was a flop, but her performance is preserved on the original cast recording.
