Beatrice Kay (April 21, 1907– November 8, 1986) was an American singer, vaudevillian, music hall performer, and stage and film actress.
She also recorded several phonograph albums, and appeared in a 1945 motion picture about the club where she had performed in her earlier years—Billy Rose's Diamond Horseshoe[2] (the film starred Betty Grable and Dick Haymes).
Kay toured on the road in 1972 with The Big Show Of 1936 (co-starring Ben Blue, Jackie Coogan, the Ink Spots, Virginia O'Brien, Cass Daley, Ray Bolger and the Wiere Brothers), which played major concert venues including New York's Madison Square Garden.
She retired to operate a holiday resort dude ranch but returned to show business after a devastating fire which destroyed her home.
She headlined a month-long booking opening Milt Larsen's Mayfair Music Hall in Santa Monica, California,[3] with Bernard Fox and Larry "Seymour" Vincent.
