JANIS PAIGE – 99 YEARS OLD

Famous singer and actress from the past, Janis Paige, started at a young age in her singing career. She was only five years old when she started joining singing contests in local establishments. The significant shift in her popularity happened during World War II when Janis Paige set aside time to sing for soldiers and service members after working at the Hollywood Canteen. A few months after, she was placed in a small musical role and gained much recognition for her outstanding performance until she finally hit Broadway.

The ’50s was Paige’s most successful decade as she both gained stage and television credit roles. However, in 2001, she suffered vocal-cord damage, but Paige managed to recover flawlessly. From then on, she was more careful with her health. Though her career continued to reach its success, she was always mindful to take care of herself, too. This can be hard to prioritize when you’re in show business but Paige managed to do a good job.
