She worked in film and television steadily for five decades. The cult-status film she is most remembered for is Cape Fear. But what a lot of people don't realize is that she was a very active singer and stage performer. She typically sang standards and "traditional pop" (discography from AllMusic) From Wikipedia: Albums 1955 Little Girl Blue 1957 Bergen Sings Morgan — Billboard 200 — 10 1957 The Party's Over — Billboard 200 — 20 1958 Polly and Her Pop 1959 My Heart Sings — Columbia #CS 8018 — orchestra conducted by Luther Henderson 1959 All Alone by the Telephone 1959 First Impressions — with Farley Granger and Hermione Gingold 1960 Four Seasons of Love 1961 Sings the Hit Songs from Do-Re-Mi and Annie Get Your Gun 1963 Act One, Sing Too 1996 My Heart Sings — re-release Polly Bergen Dies at 84; Emmy-Winning Actress from the New York Times SRS |
