Lamour began her career in the 1930s as a big band singer. In 1936, she moved to Hollywood, where she signed with Paramount Pictures. Her appearance as Ulah in ''The Jungle Princess'' (1936) brought her fame and marked the beginning of her image as the "Sarong Queen".
In 1940, Lamour made her first ''Road series'' comedy film ''Road to Singapore''. The ''Road series'' films were popular during the 1940s. The sixth film in the series, ''Road to Bali'', was released in 1952. By this time, Lamour's screen career had begun to wane, and she focused on stage and television work. In 1961, Crosby and Hope teamed for ''The Road to Hong Kong'', but actress Joan Collins was cast as the female lead. Lamour made a brief appearance and sang a song near the end of that film.
In the 1970s, Lamour revived her nightclub act, and in 1980, released her autobiography ''My Side of the Road''. She made her final movie appearance in 1987.
Lamour married her second husband, William Ross Howard III, in 1943. They had two sons and remained married until Howard's death in 1978. Lamour died at her home in 1996 at the age of 81. Provided by Wikipedia
