Kurz-Bio:
Die Popsängerin Kitty Kallen wurde am 25. Mai 1922 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, als Katie Kallen geboren und verstarb am 7. Jänner 2016 in Cuernavaca, Mexiko. Die fallweise falsche Angabe ihres Geburtsnamens als Katherine Kalinsky ist entstanden, weil ihre Eltern, russische Emigranten, ursprünglich Kalinsky hießen, aber noch vor ihrer Geburt ihren Namen amerikanisierten und auf Kallen änderten.
