Volume one of Sister Act: The Story of the Lane Sisters traces the origins and close bond of actresses Priscilla, Rosemary, Lola, and Leota Lane, as well as fifth sister Martha, who wasn’t in show business. It chronicles their beginnings in Indianola, Iowa, Lola and Leota’s work on Broadway and in Vaudeville, Priscilla and Rosemary’s discovery by Fred Waring, and the Lanes’ early film careers, along with the ups and downs in their personal lives. No other show business sisters had similar success, performing both together and separately on stage, screen, and radio.
Maggie McCormick is the author of I’ll See You Again: The Bittersweet Love Story and Wartime Letters of Jeanette MacDonald and Gene Raymond and Jeanette MacDonald On the Air, as well as many magazine articles about movies and theater. She has been a Lane Sister fan for over forty years.
