Marie Wilson (American actress)
Katherine Elisabeth White (August 19, 1916 – November 23, 1972), better known by her stage name, Marie Wilson, was an American radio, film, and television actress. She may be best remembered as the title character in My Friend Irma.
Career
Born in Anaheim, California, Wilson began her career in New York City as a dancer on the Broadway stage. She gained national prominence with My Friend Irma on radio, film and later, television. The show made her a star but typecast her almost interminably as the quintessential dumb blonde, which she played in numerous comedies and in Ken Murray's famous Hollywood "Blackouts". During World War II, she was a volunteer performer at the Hollywood Canteen. She was also a popular wartime pin-up.
Wilson's performance in Satan Met a Lady, the second film adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's detective novel The Maltese Falcon, is a virtual template for Marilyn Monroe's later onscreen persona.
Wilson appeared in more than 40 films and was a guest on The Ed Sullivan Show on four occasions. She was a television performer during the 1960s, working until her untimely death.

Live in Melbourne 2012
It's not the final destination
It's the journey on the way
And I can feel these times are changing
And nothing could stand in my way
I wanna be free
Free to find where I belong
Free to find my way
I know at times I act a little crazy
And I've made mistakes along the way
But I can see the silver lining
It's about to bring the change I have been waiting for
Hey, hey
I wanna be free
Free to find where I belong
Free to find my way
I wanna be free
I won't fight this feeling
It's leading me so far away
Believe in me, my baby
'Cause everything's gonna be okay
Well, I don't know where I'm going
And I don't know where I might be
But I can feel these times are changing
And that's alright by me
'Cause I'm free
Free to find where I belong
Free to find my way
I wanna be free
'Cause I'm free
Free to find where I belong
Free to find my way
I wanna be free
'Cause I'm free
Free to find where I belong
Free to find my way
I wanna be free
...
