Singer who was born in India on St. Valentine's Day in 1900, according to the Social Security Death Index (which, however, is not 100% reliable), and later raised in a convent there as an orphan.

She and her husband, Nicholas Maxwell Turner, were devout Roman Catholics, who received several Catholic and papal honours, and who were married at St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC by Francis Cardinal Spellman.

She began singing on radio in 1926.
