Smart Blonde (1936)

Wini Shaw started her show biz career as child in her parents' vaudeville act. In 1934 she made her first screen appearance in a Hollywood movie and got a Warner contract. Her starring roles were mostly in minor movies, but as a specialty singer she appeared in some of the studio's big productions. She is best remembered as the girl who introduced the Harry Warren-Al Dubin song "Lullaby of Broadway" in Busby Berkeley's movie Gold Diggers of 1935 (1935). Surprisingly, she made only one record, for Decca in 1935 (Decca 408, recorded February 28, 1935). At the end of the '30s her screen career faded away.
