## Biography

Leni Lynn (born Angelica Ciofani) was an American actress and contralto singer. Born on 3 May 1923 in Waterbury, Connecticut, she was signed by MGM in 1938 after her high school classmates raised funds to send her to Hollywood.

She later appeared in British films such as *Heaven Is Round the Corner* (1944), *Give Me the Stars* (1945) and *Springtime* (1946).
