My Take
Dinah Shore strikes me as a giant of American entertainment that younger audiences have unfairly forgotten. From Winchester, Tennessee, she rose during the Big Band era and then conquered film, television hosting and voice work, collecting Daytime Emmys, a Peabody and a Hollywood star along the way. What delights me most is her induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame, a reminder that she lived as fully off-camera as on. To sing, act, host and master golf is to refuse every box people try to put you in. I tip my hat to a woman who genuinely shaped her era.
