So I looked it up and was surprised to see they indeed had a career in radio and and movies. I've always found it intriguing when I see that some famous entertainers had siblings who were also in the industry and often flew under the radar for the most part. There's too many to mention here but it's more prevalent than one would think and yes, it's still a thing in today's world.

They then worked separately on Broadway where Lola was discovered and given a film contract. She worked off and on in films from 1929 to 1946, with her best work at Warner Bros. in Marked Woman with Bette Davis, Hollywood Hotel, and the series with her sisters. Although she acted on screen with Rosemary and Priscilla, they never sang as a trio.<br /><br />Rosemary and Priscilla were discovered by Fred Waring. They toured the country with his Pennsylvanians and appeared on his radio show. It was through Waring that they landed in Hollywood, first appearing with the band members in Varsity Show. With Waring they were a sister act, but usually performed separately, with Rosemary doing romantic ballads, often with Waring's brother Tom, and Priscilla doing more comedy material.<br /><br />Leota appeared in several film shorts, but is better remembered for her concert and stage work, including a long run at the Turnabout Theater in CA. She was married for times.<br /><br />All four sisters were in the Lux Radio Theater broadcast of Four Daughters. Leota played Rosemary's screen role and Rosemary played Gale Page's role. Gale was on a radio program sponsored by a rival soap manufacturer, thus her absence from the Lux show.<br /><br />There was a fifth sister, Martha, who was not in show business.<br /><br />I've been working on a biography of all four Lanes for years.
