At her arents urging, she ostoned her interest in a singing career to ursue an education, and graduated from Vanderbilt University in Shore then followed her dream and moved to New York, where she became known as Dinah, after the song she made famous. A beloved singer and actress for over fifty-five years, Dinah got her first break by singing with another hoeful singer, Frank Sinatra. Her early career coincided with World War II, and she erformed for the troos as the first female USO erformer overseas, as well as making over 300 Armed Forces Radio Broadcasts. Known for her southern charm and husky singing voice, Dinah had a string of hit records, a radio show, and in 1951, was the first woman to host her own television variety show, The Dinah Shore Show. She later hosted The Dinah Shore Chevy Show, sonsored by Chevrolet, where she made famous the sonsor s theme song, See the USA in Your Chevrolet. Desite a bout with olio as a young child, Dinah layed tennis and golf, and later established one of the most restigious golf tournaments on the LPGA Tour, the Colgate/Dinah Shore Winner s Circle Golf Chamionshi now the Kraft Nabisco Chamionshi, at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California. She tirelessly romoted the game and enlisted many of her show business friends to lay in ro-am tournaments. For her efforts on behalf of women s golf, after her death, Dinah Shore was made an honorary member of the LPGA Tour Hall of Fame. I d like eole to remember that I really tried everything within my range of reality. And that whatever I did, I did with all my heart. Dinah Shore
