- Billie Worth (born October 20, 1916) is an American former actress who performed on Broadway and in other venues from regional theater in the United States to European capitals. Her name is sometimes seen as Billy Worth, and she is also known as Billie Worth Burr. Worth was born in Rome, New York, as a member of "a family of show business personalities". In her youth, her tennis skills made her a ranking junior player in the Eastern states. Worth's Broadway credits include Thumbs Up! (1934), Higher and Higher (1940), Bright Lights of 1944 (1943), Jackpot (1944), Seven Lively Arts (1944), South Pacific (1949), and Courtin' Time (1951). In 1953, she was called "the toast of the British Isles" for her performance as leading lady in a London production of Call Me Madam that ran for 18 months. She also played in Anything Goes in London and in five musical comedies in Australia. She performed in American regional theaters, including the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera and Muny Opera in St. Louis, and she directed some regional productions. Worth married actor Donald Burr. In the early 1970s, she sold real estate. (en)
