. McGuire has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6933 Hollywood Blvd. Joe Early. She appeared in such other movies as Three Coins in the Fountain, Friendly Persuasion, Old Yeller, Swiss Family Robinson, Summer Magic and The Greatest Story Ever Told. She was the still-sensual bombshell, even in middle age; Troup played neurosurgeon Dr. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1947 for Gentleman's Agreement. Ironically, her ex-husband, Jack Webb, was the producer of "Emergency!" and hired both his ex-wife and her current husband to key roles on his show. By 1943, at the age of 27, she was already playing mother roles, in such movies as A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.

Her whispered "you make me feel so good" at the end is breathy and suggests a sexually satisfied partner. Dorothy Hackett McGuire (June 14, 1916 - September 13, 2001) was an American actress. Go slow, oooooh honey, take it easy on the curves;
When love is slow, oooooh honey, what a tonic for my nerves.
Go slow, oooooh honey, we've got such a lot of time;
When love is slow, oooooh honey, how the mercury does climb.
.

The lyrics strongly suggest sex but never explicitly define it:. Songs such as "Go Slow" epitomized her career style: her voice is slow, smoky, and sensual. Among her most famous singles are "Cry Me a River" (penned by her high school classmate Arthur Hamilton); "No Moon at All"; "My Heart Belongs to Daddy"; and "Two Sleepy People". But it is a kind of oversmoked voice, and it automatically sounds intimate.".

In 1957, she was the subject of a Life magazine cover article in which she was quoted as saying, "It's only a thimbleful of a voice, and I have to use it close to the microphone. She was named one of Billboard's most popular female vocalists for 1955, 1956, and 1957. Her professional singing career began in 1955 with a live performance at the 881 Club in Los Angeles and she recorded 32 albums. Her early film career did not include any singing parts.

They had two children, including a daughter who survived her. This unlikely pairing arose from his love for jazz music; their marriage lasted from 1947 to 1953.

Her obvious beauty and self-poise (she was a pinup girl prized by GIs during World War II) contrasted with his pedestrian appearance and stiff-as-a-board acting technique (much parodied by impersonators).

When she was 14, they moved to Los Angeles. Born in Santa Rosa, California as Julie Peck, she was the daughter of parents who had a vaudeville song-and-dance team.
