Peggy Lee," attractively matted and framed with a 7" x 9" original photograph to an overall size of 13" x 20-1/2." Peggy Lee was an American jazz and popular music singer, songwriter, composer, and actress with a career spanning seven decades. She had her first hit song in 1942 and continued performing into the 1990s. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her 1955 role as an alcoholic blues singer in PETE KELLY'S BLUES. She co-wrote and performed many of the songs in the Disney movie LADY AND THE TRAMP. Lee was nominated for 13 Grammy (truncated) Awards. In 1969, her hit “Is That All There Is?” won her the Grammy for Best Contemporary Vocal Performance. That song and “Fever” are probably her best known. Lee is often cited as the inspiration for the Margarita cocktail. In 1948, after a trip to Mexico, she and her husband ventured into the Balinese Room in Galveston, Texas. She requested a drink similar to one she had had in Mexico, and the head bartender, Santos Cruz, created the Margarita, and named it after the Spanish version of Peggy's name. (Inventory #: 021410)
