Anne Margaret Triola (September , â€" ) was an American singer,
musician, and actress of stage, film, and television. As a comedian
and supporting actress, she got her start singing in Hollywood night
clubs. Triola made her mark in the well known musical film Lullaby Of
Broadway () and received much praise for her effort in the motion
picture Without Reservations (), which starred Claudette Colbert and
John Wayne. She participated in five Hollywood films, assisted with
USO tours in the Pacific Theater during World War II, and caused
audiences to lose themselves in laughter, but Triola may best be
remembered for work as a singer and comedian with the musical theatre
that included performances in night clubs all over the country such as
the Blue Angel in New York City.Triola was listed as being one of the
most popular performers in the history of Music Circus that included
her work with the Sacramento Music Circus in the s. She was described
as a petite, dark haired, dark-eyed song stylist with the Betty Hutton
type of delivery.Triola was born in Los Angeles, California and was of
Italian descent. Her childhood was not typical for a little girl
growing up in Southern California. Instead, Triola embarked on a long
stint of study that began with piano when she was just three years
old, prematurely launching her professional career when most children
were, back then, mastering the art of roller skating. She learned to
play the accordion, and by the early age of Triola began playing the
squeezebox and singing in various cafes, including one called "Burp
Hollow."The beginning of Triola's career in show business was
interrupted by World War II as Hollywood became involved with the war
effort through its USO tours that included big-name actors Bob Hope
and Gary Cooper. From the Hollywood "Bar of Music" she went on a South
Pacific tour with Judith Anderson's USO troupe. They served in a
number of USO shows during the war and entertained at such
well-remembered spots in New Guinea as Lae, Nadzab and Finchhaven in
spite of all the dangers that existed from air raids by Japanese
bombers and strafing Zeros that were land-based or planes coming from
aircraft carriers Shokaku and Zuikaku.
