[2][3] In her youth, Creore was confined to bed for several weeks as she healed from injuries sustained when a vehicle hit her while she was riding her bicycle.
[7] Her efforts to obtain a job singing on radio were fruitless until a stop at the NBC studios provided an audition with John B.
[13] Beginning on August 28, 1942,[14] Creore starred in Canteen Girl, a radio program that was "designed to raise the spirits of members of the armed services".
[5] A 2016 report on NBC described the show as "essentially a home-cooked counter-punch to the infamous 'Tokyo Rose' broadcasts airing Japanese propaganda and anti-American rhetoric during the war.
[16] It featured dramatic monologues and popular songs by Creore, based on her experiences as she volunteered once a week at the Stage Door Canteen in New York City, serving refreshments to servicemen and dancing with them.
"[17] Military men wrote letters to Creore, such as one that said, "The gang really enjoys hearing you act those 'skits', and believe me when I say, 'you make them feel as if their own girl was talking to them'".
[1] Other radio programs on which Creore had lead roles included Are You a Missing Heir?,[18] Against the Storm, Aunt Jenny, Big Sister, Listen, America, Maudie's Diary, and Melodies at Midday.
[19] The New-York Historical Society included a short film about Creore in a 2012 exhibit about New York City in World War II.
