Not only was Rose Marie working since the age of three, but her career spans collaborations with the likes of W.C. Fields, Al Capone and Bugsy Siegel, to performances for Presidents Coolidge, Hoover, and Roosevelt, and nightclub gigs at New York’s Copacabana, Las Vegas’ The Flamingo and more. She was married to Bobby Guy, who died in 1964, and is survived by daughter Georgiana “Noopy” Marie and son-in-law Steven Rodrigues (h/t EW).
