with sister Lola and Powell, before starring in Gold Diggers in Paris, opposite Rudy Vallee. Also in 1938, Priscilla, Rosemary and third sister Lola Lane appeared as three of four sisters (the fourth being Gale Page) in Four Daughters, the similarly themed Daughters Courageous the following year, and two sequels to Four Daughters a few years later, Four Wives and Four Mothers. Upon completion of this film Warners sent Priscilla, Rosemary, Errol Flynn, and Ann Sheridan among others on a personal appearance tour in conjunction with the release of Flynn's first western Dodge City. Lane earned good reviews for 1940's The Boys from Syracuse, based on Rodgers and Hart's Broadway hit of 1938. The next year she made an unusual move for a film actress of her era by becoming a Broadway star in the musical Best Foot Forward, as Gale Joy, which opened on Broadway at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on October 1, 1941. It closed after 326 performances on the Fourth of July 1942. However, she lost the subsequent movie role to Lucille Ball. Good movie roles dwindled and Lane closed out her film career in 1945 with Sing Me a Song of Texas, as nightclub singer Laurie Lang, the niece of a wealthy Texas rancher. She began a career selling real estate from an office in Pacific Palisades. Personal life Lane married Hollywood makeup artist George H. "Bud" Westmore on December 28, 1941. The marriage lasted 13 years and produced a daughter, Bridget Westmore. She sued Westmore for separate maintenance in November 1952, saying he walked out on her four months earlier. Frank Westmore, in his book The Westmores of Hollywood, said Lane and Westmore "had been very happy, or so everyone thought, including Rosemary." The couple went through a messy divorce in 1954. Death Lane died of diabetes and pulmonary obstruction at Motion Picture Country Hospital on November 25, 1974 in Woodland Hills, California at the age of 61. She was buried in an unmarked grave at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California with a grave marker finally placed on 2012.
