Betty Ann Grove (September 9, 1929[1] – November 13, 2015[2]) was an American actress and singer.
[1] Her mother was "an exhibition ballroom dancer" who performed with Ray Bolger and Jack Haley, among others.
[4] As a high school student, she performed for department stores' fashion shows in Boston.
A 1951 review of Stop the Music emphasized the "showmanly flair of Miss Grove and [Bert] Parks.
"[6] In a 1952 magazine article, Parks described Grove's activities during five months in 1950 when she was in both Stop the Music on TV and Kiss Me Kate on Broadway: At 7:30 every Thursday night she would rush into a dressing room at ABC's Ritz Theatre on West 48th Street, change into her TV costume, tear on stage for her numbers, change again into her first act Kiss Me Kate togs, make a beeline for the Shubert Theatre on West 44th Street, arriving just in time for her on-stage cue.
