Victoria Mallory is my favorite Anne too. My favorite thing she did is "With So Little To Be Sure Of" with George Hearn... very beautiful.
Also, Beth Fowler is amazing, but I don't know if we can quite count her in forgotten voices yet.

Three unjustiably forgotten belters:
Wynn Murray, part of the original cast of BABES IN ARMS (Introduced 'Johnny One Note') and THE BOYS FROM SYRACUSE.
She died tragically young at 35 or so.

Winnie Lightner, a former vaudevillian who introduced "Somebody Loves Me" in GEORGE WHITE'S SCANDALS of 1924. Became Warner Bros. first musical film star in 1929 with the lost GOLD DIGGERS OF BROADWAY, finishing her film career at MGM as Joan Crawford's roomate in DANCING LADY in 1933. Married director Roy Del Ruth and retired. Died in 1971. From her 78s and too-few film soundtracks, she had a very strong soporano - belt and a sassy presence.

Mary Healey
Sort of a 'baby Merman', sexy, buxom Healy is known to me from her appearance in the Sonja Heinie film, SECOND FIDDLE, where she introduced two Irving Berlin songs , "Dancing Back To Back" and "I'm Sorry For Myself" - amazing singer! She did a few Broadway musicals in the 1940s and married Peter Lind Hayes, and became a big radio star and appeared in the classic camp Dr. Seuss musical, THE 5,000 FINGERS OF DR. T.

Lest we forget: Kate Smith. Even beyond "God Bless America", she posessed one of the best female voices of the 20th century.
