Lillian Cornell (born Lillian Michuda; June 2, 1916 - May 25, 2015) was an American singer on old-time radio and an actress in films in the early 1940s.

Early years

Cornell was born Lillian Michuda June 2, 1916, in Chicago.[1] Her name was changed to Lillian Cornell by studio executives when she began to act in films.[2]

Radio

In 1936, Cornell (billed as Lillian Michuda) had her own radio program on WCFL in her hometown of Chicago, Illinois.[3] Three years later, she had moved to NBC, where she had the self-titled Lillian Cornell program.[4]

She also performed on Pleasure Parade,[5] Club Matinee, Roy Shield Revue, Jamboree and Sunday Dinner at Aunt Fanny's.[6]

Personal appearances

In 1944, Cornell was the featured singer at the Blackstone Hotel in Chicago. A review published in the Chicago Tribune on November 26, 1944, described Cornell as "a dark haired beauty with a clear, impressive voice and an admirably gracious, easy manner."[7]

Film

Cornell's venture into the film industry was initiated via radio. Radio Varieties magazine reported that because radio commitments kept Cornell in Chicago, "her managers arranged a cocktail party in the movie mecca, at which an audition of Lillian's voice was heard by special wire from the Windy City."[8] She signed a contract with Paramount Pictures and soon appeared in Buck Benny Rides Again.[8]

Television

In 1946, Cornell was part of the cast of The Window Shade Revue, a 45-minute musical broadcast on WNBT in New York City. An article in Billboard magazine reported that the program was "said to be one of the biggest budgeted shows yet done by NBC on WNBT since the web took over Channel Four."[9] She also appeared on Close-Ups on NBC that year.[10]

Personal life

In 1947, Cornell married Asa Fessenden. They were married until he died in 1984.[1]

Death

Cornell died May 25, 2015, in Miami, Florida.[1]

The Revolution of 1848 in Luxembourg was part of the revolutionary wave which occurred across Europe in 1848. The Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg at that time was in personal union with the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Dissatisfaction with inequality, the authoritarian government, the lack of civil liberties and a political system that excluded most people from government, caused widespread upheaval.
