Timeline

1975

The sisters got into an ugly dispute over money with the producers of their Broadway show and with each other, leading to the show's closing in 1975. Also canceled was a national tour, so the Broadway stage appearance proved to be the last time the sisters sang together. They each pursued solo careers, and over the next 20 years. they never reconciled and remained estranged, even up to the point of Maxene Andrews's death in 1995.

1974

In addition to her sister Maxine, Patty's co-stars in the 1974 stage production of Over Here included several young performers making their Broadway debuts, among them Ann Reinking, Marilu Henner, Treat Williams and John Travolta.

1973

In 1973, Patty and Maxene enjoyed a resurgence of popularity following Bette Midler's nostalgic hit version of the girls' signature song "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." As a result, the two starred together on Broadway a year later (March 1974) in the WWII musical "Over Here" which ran for 10 months, was the hit of the season, and only closed due to a salary dispute between the sisters and the producers. Maxene and Patty wound up having their own huge, unresolved, two-decade falling out. In fact, they saw each other only twice following the show's run in 1975 and Maxene's death in 1995. The first time was in 1982 when Maxene suffered her first heart attack and Patty went to her side; the second was in 1987 when they received their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Patty seemed to feel that Maxene's life-long jealousy of her was the primary reason for their disconnect.

1968

Patty's first husband, agent Martin Melcher, left her after meeting singer Doris Day. He went on to marry Day the next year and subsequently ruined her financially by the time he died in 1968. Her second husband was her group's pianist, Wally Weschler. It was a happy marriage and lasted more than 58 years.

1960

At the peak of their success, The Andrews Sisters were the top-selling vocal trio of all time. There is some dispute as to whether they still hold that record, or if their record sales were eclipsed by the 1960s Motown trio The Supremes.

1956

In 1956 they regrouped and sang in Las Vegas at the Flamingo Hotel along with a host of TV offers and a new Capitol recording contract. Their first major hit was "Bei Mir Bist Du Schon", was very well liked by Nazi Germany, until the discovery that the songwriters were a Jewish race.

When the war ended in 1945, it was the sisters who announced it to 5,000 GI's during a USO tour in Italy just prior to the men heading off for duty in the Pacific. Patty, via a note given her by the troop's commanding officer, read the emotional announcement.

1941

The Andrews Sisters, of whom Patty was the lead singer, introduced " Boogie Woodies Bugle Boy" (one of their signature songs) in the 1941 film Buck Privates, which was also the first starring roles of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello.
