CHILD STAR TO COUNTRY SINGER
Mollie was discovered at a grammar school performance in Tucson by singing cowboy Rex Allen, who put her on his radio show. Her next stop was "Hometown Jamboree" in Los Angeles, which was somtimes called "The Molly Bee Show". For nine years, she performed with Tennessee Ernie Ford on his television show. She did two movies in the 1950s but felt she was too shy for acting. In the 1960s, she was a Las Vegas headliner and traveled with Bob Hope's USO troupe. By the end of the 1960s, she retired due to drug problems.
