June Havoc-Cathy Lewis "The story of Molly X" 1949, de Crane Wilbur.
A promo shot of Cathy Lewis and Marie Wilson of the CBS Radio situation comedy program “My Friend Irma” in August 1947.
Tomorrow on Down These Mean Streets, we’ll hear Brett Halliday’s ace gumshoe Michael Shayne tackle tough radio mysteries!
Wally Maher stars as Shayne with Cathy Lewis as his loyal secretary Phyllis Knight, plus we’ll hear Jeff Chandler in a more hard-boiled take on the “reckless, red-headed Irishman.”

Kid Glove Killer, 1942 (dir. Fred Zinnemann)
Marie Wilson and Cathy Lewis of old-time radio’s “My Friend Irma”
Today in 1947, the comical misadventures of My Friend Irma premiered on CBS. Marie Wilson starred as the titular Irma, a scatterbrained and naive stenographer who roomed with her more street-smart and level-headed friend Jane Stacy (Cathy Lewis, who appeared as Phyllis Knight on Michael Shayne). Rounding out the cast were John Brown as Irma’s deadbeat boyfriend Al and Hans Conried as Professor Kropotkin, a Russian violinst who lived above the girls.
The show centered on Irma and her dizzy relationship with logic, Al’s crazy “get rich quick” schemes, and Jane’s bemused frustration with her friend’s naive nature. The series aired on CBS Radio until 1954, with a television series running from 1952 until 1954. Irma and her friends hit the big screen twice - first in 1949’s My Friend Irma (the big screen debut of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis) and again in 1950’s My Friend Irma Goes West.
