Upon graduation, she went to New York, where she was featured soloist in houses of worship and on Broadway. She was in the Broadway musical “Inside USA” and she was an original cast member of “South Pacific.” While in a dance class in New York, Jackie met the love of her life, and future husband, Harvey R.
