Faye Emerson (July 8, 1917 - March 9, 1983) was an
American film actress and television host.  She is
remembered as an actress in many Warner Bros.
films beginning in 1941.  She was born in
Elizabeth, Louisiana.  In 1944 she played one of
her more memorable roles as Zachary Scott's ex in
The Mask of Dimitrios.  She gained her greatest
fame on television on the Faye Emerson Show on
CBS.  Emerson hosted or appeared on so many talk
shows (usually wearing long, low-cut gowns) and
game shows that she was known as "The First Lady
of Television".  The glamorous Emerson was so
popular it's rumored that the Emmy Award was named
after her.  She was once married to Elliot
Roosevelt, son of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 Emerson was later married to band leader Skitch
Henderson in the 1950s.  Once a Hollywood starlet
enjoying the show business spotlight, the wealthy
Emerson spent the end of her long life as a
recluse.  She died of stomach cancer in Spain in
1983.
