Rosalie Randall
Rosalie Randall, born Rosalie Joyce Randall, was a professional harpist, appearing in many films, television shows, stage productions (including Broadway), and recordings.
Rosalie Randall came from a musical family, but her exceptional talent was evident very young. Her mother Daisy, and older sisters Marilyn & Janice, all played harp. Beginning with playing piano, she performed recitals all through her younger years. By the time she attended Cass Technical High School, she had focused on music, studying flute and harp. She was awarded a scholarship to attend Michigan State College (now Michigan University) for flute. During her time there, she performed with William Harms, piano soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra and New York Philharmonic. During summers, she studied with Carlos Salzedo, at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia.
Her career onscreen began when she joined Fred Waring & the Pennsylvanians, as a featured performer for four years.
She then relocated to Los Angeles, and was featured on the Spike Jones television show, Lawrence Welk, performed in Las Vegas with Red Skelton and Louis Prima, played recording dates with NBC, Dot, Disney Studio, as well as others.
She settled in Orange County California for many years, raising a daughter, Kimberly and son, Randall, performing with symphonies and orchestras, including Chapman College (now Chapman University), University of California at Irvine. She was a featured performer on the Crystal Cathedral's Hour of Power television program (weekly) for five years.
In 1996, she retired to Las Vegas.
