She was born in Hungary to professional musician parents who toured worldwide. Educated in Switzerland, she studied piano before joining her parents on tour as The Three Hugos. When World War II was declared, the family left England with the Boswell Circus. She married, and as Eve Boswell became a popular singing star in South Africa.
In 1949, she was heard by bandleader Geraldo (Gerald Bright), who persuaded her to return to the United Kingdom as a singer in his band, which was widely heard on BBC Radio. Boswell parted with Geraldo in 1952, and launched a solo career. Her first hit record came that year with "Sugar Bush", partly sung in Afrikaans. She appeared in the Royal Variety Performance and toured widely with comedian Derek Roy, before getting her own radio show in 1954.
Her major chart hit came with "Pickin' a Chicken", a South African tune with new words, which rose to No 9 on the UK Singles Chart at the start of 1956. Her first LP, Sugar and Spice, on which she sang 10 songs in nine different languages, followed later in the year. A continuous programme of radio work and tours followed, leading to more than one mental breakdown.
She faded from public view as public tastes for pop music changed through the late 1950s and 1960s, eventually returning to live in South Africa.

I found out my mother was dying from cancer. My girlfriend at the time, and I went to the Ellen show to smile and get my mind off things. Before the show we were instructed (as an audience) that no one was allowed to speak to "Ms Degeneres". (Oooo, so untouchable, important.) As the show went on, we all applauded like good little minions when her staff held up signs instructing us to. ( I guess she didn't want to leave it up to an actual earned applause.) We stood when told to stand, and danced when instructed to dance. All the while I'm thinking, what a joke. I actually thought this would be fun. I'd watched her show many times and was naive to think that the audience was actually doing all that they do of their own volition. It was just free labor for her. Finally, during a break one of her staff tapped me on the shoulder and said that Ellen had asked that I be moved to the back of the audience because I wasn't active and excited enough to remain where I was seated near the center of the room and walkway. Mind you, the woman who replaced me in my seat never stood or danced even once. It changed everything for me in reference to her in an instant. So all these years later I for one am happy to see that she is finally being seen for who she is. Arrogant, pompous, self righteous, self-important, and a bully. Ellen didn't make me smile that day. On that day... she felt like a bully. It actually felt as though she sensed I was weak in that moment and went ahead and gave me a good kick. She just added insult to an already hard time in my life. So yes, finally after all these years, in reference to Ellen... I smile.

She sounds like a malignant narcissist. Thank you for sharing your story.
@MoonmanSpacejam
Wow. I hope more
People see this comment. That is disturbing and absolutely horrifying.
What a witch 🧙♀️
@Angelina6518
This sounds truly demonic. Poor Ellen is lost. Pray for her. I do.
@user-wx8uj4xr2q
One thing I will never say. I went to an Ellen show to feel good.

@@Angelina6518 demonic 😂 hardly, just a rude person

Fame, money, power does not change people,, it reveals them.
@MajorBuzzKill
@MOHAMED HASSAN Money and power lets you be yourself, the OP is right.
@MajorBuzzKill
@MOHAMED HASSAN Agree to disagree, money and power amplifies who you are when you have no options you can't completely be yourself.
@arsnole3942
That’s fact for 99% of the world
