This is one of those "I didn't know she was still alive" stories. Janis
Paige starred opposite "Bonnie's father" (John Raitt) in the 1954
Broadway production of "The Pajama Game" which won a Tony award for Best Musical. That show spawned three pop hits: "Hey There," "Steam Heat,"
and "Hernando's Hideaway." Janis Paige did not sing any of them but she
did sing other songs in the show and on record.

She also starred in the 1957 movie "Silk Stockings"--which I saw in
1957!--in which she sang a duet with Fred Astaire called "Stereophonic
Sound." You remember, don't you? "Technicolor and Cinemascope and stereophonic sound..."

For me Janis Paige shines as the fiesty ex-wife helping Peter Falk (as
Columbo) discover whether Patrick O'Neal has really buried the murdered
Forrest Tucker under the building he is constructing
