One of Lawrence Welk's most beloved entertainers, an Emmy Award
winner and a Vegas headliner, Roberta Linn captured the hearts of
fans nationwide. Her inspiring story unfolds in the pages of
"Champagne Lady."
Born in a small Iowa town to a farmer's daughter and a minor
league baseball player, Roberta discovered her talent for
performing at a young age. She played in film productions and
worked with big name stars like Shirley Temple, Cary Grant, and
Clark Gable. At the age of thirteen, she fabricated her true age
and enlisted in the Women's Army Corps, entertaining the troops of
World War II.
From 1950 to 1955, Roberta became Lawrence Welk's first
television "Champagne Lady," and she was displayed on magazine
covers around the country. But the harshness of celebrity life
finally took it's toll, and Roberta's ill health led to a
medicine-induced coma in 1958. Her amazing recovery reinforced her
faith, and she continued to find success in her career. Both moving
and uplifting, "Champagne Lady," showcases the triumph of one of
the most popular entertainers of Hollywood's golden Age.
