in Broadway plays
and
musicals. Her success in the 1946 stage production of Born
Yesterday
as
"Billie Dawn" led to her being cast in the 1950 film version, for which
she won
the Academy

and the Golden

Globe Award for Best Actress - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy
. She

appeared regularly in film during the 1950s. She was noted for her
performance
on Broadway in the musical Bells Are Ringing,

Judy Holliday was her stage/movie name--she won a Tony and Oscar for her role in Born Yesterday--was in the movie Bells Are Ringing With Dean Martin--forget the name of the movie that she stole from Spencer Tracy and Katherin Hepburn--The Marrying Kind?--also starred in a movie opposite Jack Lemmon--had a genius IQ and just loved doing comedies

I know the name, but I'm not really familiar with her. Was that her real name?
