Vera Lynn – 101

Imagine being a soldier and enduring the harshest conditions life has to offer day in, day out. A visit from a beautiful singer probably sounds like a good cheer-me-up in that scenario! Vera Lynn did exactly that. She was famous for her songs during World War II and visited troops around the world. Her gorgeous looks helped make her very popular with the hot-blooded soldiers, but her efforts to relieve the circumstances the armed forces were in didn’t go unnoticed. She has a net worth of $20 million, got awarded a British War Medal and is an official Dame of the United Kingdom.
