 Fan Memories
Kathryn appeared to be nearly forgotten and when I started with my own website, I nearly added her into my tributes - but I thought Jim Johnson's page would stay up and chose to add stars that had no sites.
Kathryn was a lady and I loved listening to her speak and greet fans.
He told me the woman that sang that song was Kathryn Grayson and showed me her picture in a Film encyclopedia, he also talked about Showboat, it was the first movie he saw at the theatre when he was six (it was shown in Mexico in 1958).

Grayson, the beautiful physiognomy, clothes-model, and concert-quality singer was the best of her time (see her in "Kiss Me Kate"); and Mario has a magnificent voice.
The cast surrounding Lanza is great, with Kathryn Grayson excellent as Suzette the soprano and love interest, David Niven smooth and classy as Jacques the director, J. Carrol Naish as Uncle Nicky, and some humorous scenes belong to Clinton Sundberg as he tries to teach Lanza "social graces".
Kathryn Grayson is so pretty and her singing and acting were perfect for the part she played.

 That Midnight Kiss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
That Midnight Kiss was the screen debut of tenor Mario Lanza, this 1949 MGM production also starred Kathryn Grayson.
The commercially popular film was directed by Norman Taurog, who the following year would again direct Lanza and Grayson in the even more successful The Toast of New Orleans.
But his efforts in both directions are hampered by an inconsequential story which enmeshes him with Kathryn Grayson - a girl who neither sings nor acts in his league."

Grayson herself leaned towards "diva" behavior the more popular she became, but audiences were less interested in backstage intrigues and more interested in the end result of such films as Anchors Aweigh (1943), The Kissing Bandit (1948), and The Toast of New Orleans (1950).
In many of her best films, notably Showboat (1951) and Kiss Me Kate (1953, in which her curvaceous figure was delightfully emphasized in form-fitting Elizabethan garb), Grayson was teamed with baritone Howard Keel, with whom she would later appear in nightclubs and tour in summer stock.
Kathryn Grayson made her last film in 1956; she returned before the cameras in the 1980s on (where else?) Murder She Wrote.

Unfortunately, more than an hour passes before the show arrives, stranding the viewer with a thin service comedy about an opera singer (Kathryn Grayson) tagging along to a military camp in hopes of reuniting her estranged parents, whose names are Bill and Hillary (no comments, please).
Grayson warbles, and Kelly has one nifty solo dance (with a mop and broom), but the all-star revue is the movie's main attraction.
The wartime romance angle is routine, spiced up only by some probably unintended Oedipal tension between the girl (Kathryn Grayson) and her father.
