Trivia
Received the Women's International Center (WIC) Living Legacy Award in 1988.
Married last husband Mark Harris - an admitted bisexual - after knowing him for less than a month. He was 42; she was 75.
Had so little formal schooling, her scripts had to be read to her.
Daughter by Condos, Melodye Raye Condos (Melodye Condos), born 26th July 1944.
Had a temporary falling out with daughter Melodye when Melodye had her father cremated against Martha's wishes.
Martha Raye had a lifelong fear of flying, but because of her profession was required to make numerous air trips, which she could muster only after drinking herself into a near alcoholic stupor. Her drinking and conduct during these periods ended up with a number of airlines refusing her service, particularly on her many trips into the Miami, Florida, area, which was a favored vacation spot.
One time band vocalist with the Paul Ash and Boris Morros orchestras in the early 30s.
Performed in a family act called "Reed and Hooper" (their parents' names) with brother Bud. Martha (whose real name was Margaret) and Bud so consistently stole the show that the name of the act was eventually changed to "Bud and Margie."
Born backstage at a local vaudeville theatre in Butte, Montana, where her song-and-dance Irish immigrant parents Pete Reed and Mabelle Hooper were performing. Two days after Martha was born, her mother was back doing the act.
