Trivia
Mother of look-alike, sound-alike actress Tisha Sterling. The two appeared in The Whales of August, with Tisha, in the prelude scene, portraying a younger-day Ann.
Left visibly overweight by a bout of hepatitis, she only wore black outfits in her 1950s sitcoms Private Secretary and The Ann Sothern Show.
In her role as Susie McNamara on Private Secretary (which ran 1953-1958), Sothern played the first working woman on an American TV sitcom.
Had been so busy in the entertainment industry for so many years, once quipped that she had done everything in the business except rodeo.
Portrayed Maisie Ravier on Mutual Radio's "The Adventures of Maisie" (1949- 1951).
Her sister Marion was once a secretary to columnist Abigail Van Buren ("Dear Abby").
Her paternal grandfather, Simon Lake, was the inventor of the modern submarine.
A singer in her early career, she sang with Artie Shaw among others. She was also a published songwriter and recorded two albums.
In 1953, her film career waned and she decided to give TV a try. When a TV series based on her popular "Maisie" film character failed to materialize, she made her series debut with Suzie McNamara on Private Secretary.
Her mother was a concert singer who traveled; Ann followed suit studying singing and musical composition. In later years her mother became a diction and vocal coach and taught microphone technique for talking pictures.
Her younger sister was the prolific singer/songwriter Bonnie Lake who wrote several popular standards such as "Sandman", "I've Got Your Number" and "Gracias" - songs later recorded by such big band stars as Tommy Dorsey and Benny Goodman. In the 1940s, Bonnie founded the Bonnie Lake Music Publishing Company.
