(G)LAMOUR on the Road to a Dip in Her Swimming Pool

I must say when I was mulling over this challenge I did think about glamorous Dorothy Lamour's surname. So I found a photo of her and a painting that contained a road and a couple of well groomed dogs a movie star might have hanging around their fabulous estate.

Now, look at this (HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOROTHY !):

Mary Leta Dorothy Slaton[ was born on December 10, 1914, at Charity ward at New Orleans East Hospital in Louisiana, the daughter of Carmen Louise (née LaPorte) and John Watson Slaton, both of whom were restaurant servers. Lamour was of Spanish with some English, French and possibly also distant Irish descent. Her parents' marriage lasted only a few years. Her mother married for the second time to Clarence Lambour, whose surname Dorothy later adopted and modified as her stage name.

 And there you have it!

    She was a terrific comedy co-star to Bob & Bing in those Road movies. :D
