The gangly gal with the overbite appeared in several Paramount musicals during the '40s and '50s. She started out singing with bands and soon became a popular nightclub and radio comedienne. This led her to heading the 1936 Follies on Broadway. In the early 1950s, Daley retired from films, and during the early '70s she attempted a comeback. Unfortunately, in 1975, she accidentally stumbled over a glass coffee table while alone in her home and bled to death when a shard of glass cut her neck. Her final film was Norwood in 1970. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
