Monica Lewis (1922–2015) was an American singer, actress, and popular pin-up girl of the 1940s and ’50s. With her bright smile, blonde hair, and bubbly personality, she became a favorite entertainer during World War II, performing for troops and appearing in numerous magazines.
Lewis enjoyed a successful career as a recording artist and nightclub singer, releasing popular songs such as “I Wish You Love” and “Put the Blame on Mame.” She also appeared in several Hollywood films, including The Strip (1951) with Mickey Rooney and Excuse My Dust (1951). Later in life, she lent her voice to animated characters, most notably as the singing voice of the female cat in the Tom and Jerry series.
