Yes, plus she was Butch Patrick's mother on the "Munsters", being both "someone's mother" and then "camp" at the same time. It's also kind of amazing that her home studio didn't realize or capitalize on the fact that she could sing in her films (unless I'm not aware of some instance); she had a very good voice. Also Dana Andrews trained as an opera singer first, but other than a singing while hiking throwaway scene in one film, didn't sing on film; he was even dubbed in "State Fair" before the studio thought to even ask him if he could sing!

Supposedly, Andrews kept it a secret that his singing was so good as he didn't want to be typecast as another Nelson Eddy. Another story re "State Fair" specifically is that he felt the guy dubbing him needed the work.
This guy was Ben Gage who also dubbed Victor Mature, George Montgomery and Cornel Wilde. And was the second husband of Esther Williams and the father of her three children. The children whom she basically gave up(along with much else)for the sake of next husband Fernando Lamas(of Ethel Merman/HAPPY HUNTING fame).
