Betty Garrett

Elizabeth Betty Garrett was an American actress, comedian, singer and dancer who originally performed on Broadway before being signed to a film contract with MetroGoldwynMayer. While there, she appeared in several musical films before returning to Broadway and making guest appearances on several television series.

Garrett was born in Saint Joseph, Missouri, the daughter of Elizabeth Octavia and Curtis Garrett. Shortly after her birth, her parents relocated to Seattle, Washington, where her mother managed the sheet music department in Sherman Clay, while her father worked as a traveling salesman. His alcoholism and inability to handle finances eventually led to their divorce, and Garrett and her mother lived in a series of residential hotels in order to curtail expenses.
