Ruth Etting
Ruth Etting (1897-1978) peaked as a radio and Broadway singer in the 1920s and ‘30s. Initially, she announced her retirement in 1935 and again in 1937. Her retirement was complicated by her ex-husband and manager Moe Snyder, an abusive man who made threats against her and others around her. In 1938, he shot her new boyfriend and pianist Harry Myrl Alderman and was convicted of attempted murder. This part of her life was dramatized in the 1953 musical film Love Me or Leave Me. She and Alderman lived quietly in Colorado until her death.
