Betty Hutton (born Elizabeth June Thornburg, February 26, 1921 – March 11, … Read Full Bio ↴Betty Hutton (born Elizabeth June Thornburg, February 26, 1921 – March 11, 2007) was an American film actress and singer. She started in show business as a big band singer with her sister Marion Hutton.
Star of many Paramount musicals. Starred in The Greatest Show on Earth, Annie Get Your Gun and Miracle of Morgans Creek. Her singing career was on the up when unfortunately the RIAA put a stop to all recordings in the early forties. She had just had a number one with "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief" so this was bad timing for her. Stormed out of her Paramount contract over personal issues in the early 50's and with bad TV choices (Satin and Spurs getting awful reviews) decided to stick to live performing.
Lost her singing voice in the 70's as her private life was in turmoil. Turned to Catholicism after beating alcohol addiction. Returned to Broadway in 1980 as a replacement Miss Hannigan in Annie. Earned a master's degree in psychology from Salve Regina University, where she became friends with Kristin Hersh. Passed away in 2007.

It's such a pleasure to hear her sing ballads as opposed to the usual cavorting novelty numbers; she put ballads over so well and wasn't allowed to sing them often enough.

Judy Garland also recorded this song for Decca Records shortly after Betty did hers for RCA Victor.
George Hewett
Yes, I know Judy's version and this is one of the few times when I don't prefer Judy's rendition of any song. Somehow to me Judy didn't sound as though she had her heart and soul into it when she recorded "Don't Tell Me That Story." Plus, I found Gordon Jenkins' orchestration to be a bit on the "blah" side.
