Bio:
Until the end of her relatively short Hollywood career just eight years later, she was cast as second fiddle to the main female lead in films like Adventure (1945) (opposite Clark Gable and Honeymoon (1947), or -- more typically -- as night club singers (The Big Wheel (1949), The Lady Takes a Sailor (1949)). Embraceable You (1948), at least, gave her a few good wisecracking lines. Lina's voice was also brought to nationwide audiences via USO broadcasts and regularly spotted on the popular radio shows of Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Jack Benny. Lina retired from public life in 1953, but resurfaced in the late 1970's to work as Spanish-language radio announcer for Hollywood Park horse races. Her last performance on stage was for a benefit show in Los Angeles in March 1973, under her married name Elena Romay Gould.
