Debra,
Was her name Sinclair or was it her stage name?  There were twins in show
business that took the Sinclair name.  I received a very nice letter from
one of them and she explained that their manager chose the Sinclair name as
their stage name as it was a better stage name than their own.  There was a
photograph and write up on them in a New York publication recently (the
photo was in their young stage days).  I have it somewhere on my desk if
you think it might be the one your father referred to.
