dann nehmen wir doch erstmal Wikipedia:
Barbara Bebe Lyon (September 9, 1931 – July 10, 1995[1]) was a singer of popular songs and actress, born in the United States but primarily active in the United Kingdom.
She was born in Hollywood, California.[1] Her parents, Ben Lyon and Bebe Daniels, were both Hollywood actors, beginning in silent films with careers extending into the 1930s.[1] In the early part of World War II, Ben Lyon joined the Royal Air Force, and though the family returned later to the United States, they made Britain their adopted home. From the late 1940s until 1961, they had a radio program on the BBC, Life With The Lyons.[1] Ben, Bebe, Barbara, and Barbara's brother Richard all played themselves on this show (perhaps inspired by the success in the U.S. of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, also featuring a real-life family), bringing the family before the UK public.
In the 1950s, both Barbara and Richard began their own independent careers; Richard recorded one single, but primarily found his career to be as an actor, both in the UK and the U.S. With Barbara, the situation was reversed: she did some acting, but found more popularity as a singer, with two hits in the UK Singles Chart.[2] However, after those two hits she was unable to chart, and went into acting and game shows, both in the UK and U.S.
Lyon had her own short-lived TV series Dream Time With Barbara (1955), in which she also sang, and the following year she married the show's producer, Russell Turner.[1] The marriage did not last, and in 1968 she married an accountant, Colin Burkitt, a union that produced one son, but that also ended in divorce.[1] She faded from the scene following 1962 television guest appearances on McHale's Navy and My Three Sons.
