  	20190702HAv- Posted 08 Aug 2014 by If one were to write the true life story of Jill Corey as a movie scenario, it would be too fantastic to be believed. Certainly nothing more dramatic could be dreamed up than the simple truth about this coal miner's daughter who lost her mother at age four. At eighteen, she found herself on the cover of LIFE magazine and destined to be a full-fledged recording star, as well as a radio and television personality, all as the result of one miraculous day in New York City. For Norma Jean Speranza, the youngest of five children, life began routinely enough, in Avonmore, Pennsylvania (population 1300), a coal mining community forty miles east of Pittsburgh. Her first performances were not memorable, consisting of Carmen Miranda imitations rendered with gusto at family gatherings and in grade school amateur hours, where she recalls invariably coming in last place. That may be the only time in her life she would fail to finish near the top of any endeavor she would undertake.
