 Mary Martin Summary
Mary Virginia Martin (December 1, 1913 – November 3, 1990) born in Weatherford, Texas was an American star of (mainly stage) musicals.
It has been claimed [by Boze Hadleigh] that Martin had a long intimate relationship with Oscar winning actress Janet Gaynor, who quoted, in his 1994 book Hollywood Babble On, actor Robert Cummings as saying: 'Janet Gaynor's husband was Adrian, the MGM fashion designer.
This claim is echoed, with differing strengths of conviction, on various websites - ([1], [2], [3], [4]), but it should be noted that neither Mary Martin nor Janet Gaynor was interviewed by Hadleigh or was even alive at the time of the book's publication, and that Gaynor's last husband, Paul Gregory, denied the rumors/claims.

 Mary Martin : Anything Goes - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
In the wake of the massive success of +South Pacific in 1949, Columbia signed Mary Martin, the show's star, to a recording contract, and in 1950 Lieberson took her into a studio with an orchestra and chorus and recorded this album of songs from 1934's +Anything Goes and another from 1931's +The Band Wagon.
It wasn't quite a studio cast album, since it had only one featured singer, who was not assigned a single character to portray, but it wasn't quite a regular solo album, either.
This did not erase memories of Merman, but Martin was at her best on the romantic "All Through the Night," which was more her sort of song.
