Dinah Shore ranks as one of the important on-air musical stars of the first two decades of television in the United States.
More than any song she sang, Dinah Shore symbolized cheery optimism and southern charm, most remembered for blowing a big kiss to viewers at the end of her 1950s variety show.
As hostess, she sometimes danced and frequently participated in comedy skits, but was best loved as a smooth vocalist reminiscent of a style associated with the 1940s.

Little did Dinah know when she got up that morning that she would make history and be singled out to be cursed in such a way as to permanently alter the course of the history of the world.
Dinah's loss of her virginity at the hand of an evil teen boy represented the next generation being cursed by the justice of God.
