Hannah Williams
Toronto Daily Star, February 12 1931
Hannah Williams (1911-1973) remained married to Roger Wolfe Kahn for only two years; they divorced in 1933. Ms. Williams then married Jack Dempsey, former heavyweight champion of the world; they had two children before divorcing in 1943. YouTube has footage of Dempsey and Williams shortly after they married, and of her singing "Get Happy".
Roger Wolfe Kahn (1907-1962) was more than just a son of a New York banker: he was a musician, bandleader, and aviator. Here is a recording of his band from 1925.
