Rosemary Clooney was a singer and star for the ages. Despite her popularity and talent, she struggled to get to Hollywood, and then climbed her way back up once after enduring personal and professional struggles.

Rosemary Clooney was born in Maysville, Kentucky, to parents Andrew Joseph Clooney and Marie Frances Guilfoyle Clooney. She was the eldest of five siblings that also included, Betty, Nick, Andy, and half-sister Gail Stone. Growing up wasn't easy. Her father was an alcoholic, and her mother was more interested in pursuing a job as a saleswoman. Her younger brother, Andy, died in a swimming accident.

When Rosemary was 15, her mother met someone else and left the family, leaving Rosemary and 13-year-old Betty behind with their father, who was often in and out of jail for public drunkenness. The two girls were often shuttled between relatives. Eventually, their father disappeared and never came back again, leaving the girls without any money.

Not wishing to be entirely dependent on their relatives, Rosemary and Betty started trying to earn their own money, and eventually managed to get their big break after auditioning for a spot at their local radio station for 20 dollars a week.
