She was also a fixture on the pop singles charts from the late 1940s through most of the '50s (though her popularity in that arena declined with the advent of rock and roll), with hit songs including "Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera Sera)," "Secret Love," "It's Magic," "A Guy Is a Guy," and "Everybody Loves a Lover," to name a few.

Her first movie was 1948's ''Romance on the High Seas'' and she acted in films for twenty years until 1968.
