A rather little-known fact about her...
She was the first person to have a British chart hit and then disappear, never to return...
She achieved this in a duet with Bing Crosby (the sappy 'Zing A Little Zong'), which gave Jane two weeks of chart life at the end of 1952...
Happily, her real life lasted much longer...RIP Jane...

I loved Jane Wyman, and I think Reagan did too. Ever notice the similarities in Jane and Nancy?
