With her film debut in Every Night at Eight the diminutive fivefootoneinch star introduced what became her signature song Im in the Mood for Love. She then began appearing frequently in films such as Broadway Melody of 1936 , Born to Dance , and Yankee Doodle Dandy with James Cagney, in which she performed the popular song Over There and also popularized Dixie Jamboree and Radio Stars on Parade. In the Western Deputy Marshal, she costarred with her first husband, matinee idol Jon Hall. In several of these films, such as Broadway Melody, she appeared as herself, as she did in 1953 in The Glenn Miller Story where she sang Chattanooga Choo Choo with the Modernaires and the movie orchestra.
