The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Here's a clip of Burt's first wife, Paula Stewart. Her real name was Dorothy Paula Zürndorfer. She was married to Burt from 1953 to 1958. She was married to the comedian Jack Carter from 1961 - 1969 and they had one child.

She starred in the George White review "Nice to See You" in 1953 at the Versailles Club. During this run, Paula married Burt who was also her accompanist and scored arrangements for her nightclub act.

For some reason, I always thought it was odd that Burt was married to a woman who then went on to marry Jack Carter of all people.

See her in action here:

Bonjour EBBF;

Thanks for that clip of Paula and Jack Carter!

I wonder if Burt has any contact with her today?

Take care mon ami.
