Vicky Lane born 23 April 1926

Vicky Lane (April 23, 1926 – August 1, 1983) was an Irish-American film actress who also worked as a singer. 

Vicky Lane was born Grace Patricia Rose Coghlan to an aristocratic family in Dublin, Ireland in 1926. At a relatively young age, she had already traveled around the world twice before finally settling with her family in Mexico, and later, Beverly Hills. 

As a teenager, her first Hollywood role was in 1942. But became better known for her role as the Ape Woman Paula Dupree in the horror film The Jungle Captive (1945, directed by Harold Young), a role she took over from Acquanetta, who had played the character in two previous instalments of Universal's Ape Woman film series. It was followed by supporting roles in films such as The Cisco Kid Returns (1945) after which she quit acting to pursue other interests. 

On May 27th, 1944, Vicky married film actor Tom Neal in Las Vegas, NV. She was 16 years of age at the time, and Tom was nearly twice her age. Both were rising stars in Hollywood, and both came from affluent families. Furthermore, they were madly in love, so their wedding was by all appearances a match made in heaven. Certainly, bigger and better things for the both of them were just around the corner, or so it seemed. Sadly, this was not to be. 

Vicky separated from Tom on July 4th, 1949. During the divorce proceedings, which were covered by both the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Examiner, Vicky cited Tom's "unreasoning jealousy" and his mental and physical cruelty as grounds for their divorce. According to Vicky, she "couldn't go to the corner store to buy a pack of cigarettes without being accused of associating with other men." Their divorce was finalized on August 8th, 1949.

Lane later married jazz musician and bandleader Pete Candoli in 1953, with whom she had a daughter. In 1958, the couple divorced. Lane did record two singles with Candoli in 1955 for Sunset Records. The songs were ‘S Wonderful backed by I Ain’t Got Nothing but the Blues, and Global Blues backed by I Love a Parade. Given the odd titles and range here, these were likely made to serve as demos, and Candoli was able to get her some press. Lane signed with RCA in February 1959, after Candoli brought her to the attention of Bob Yorke, head of the label’s West Coast operations. 

Candoli also arranged the songs for her only solo album, which she recorded with the Candoli Orchestra in 1959 for RCA,” I Swing for You “ on which she performed songs in the jazz-oriented style like Love Is Not Born, My Romance, The Song Is You and The Trolley Song. The orchestra included musicians such as Jimmy Rowles, Barney Kessel, Alvin Stoller, and Joe Mondragon, along with a host of additional percussionists.Billboard noted in its December 1959 mention of the album, “Watch this girl, she has talent." 

Oddly, this was the only LP she recorded. After this she seems to have vanished into obscurity except for the fact that she left Hollywood in 1963 and lived in Florida where she died August 1, 1983 at the age of 57 from natural causes.
