BINGO, Glebb!!! 
Yes, according to the song, "I'm Goin' Back", Ella worked as an operator at a negligee store with a "little modeling on the side."
Now for your bonus points: When well-known married Hollywood duo took over for Judy Holliday and Sydney Chaplin in BELLS ARE RINGING when the two went on vacation?

Yep, Jose', you are absolutely correct!!!
The then-married team of Betty Garrett and Larry Parks played BELLS ARE RINGING for two weeks during Holliday's vacation.
Thank goodness I have two prizes today--Jose' and Glebb, you are to report to work immediately as phone operators at Susanwserphone--on New York's "smart East side."
I hear a man named Mr. Moss is very anxious to talk to "Mom"! 
Edited in: "Sorry for the damn message "criss-cross", Jose'.
