She appeared in Ziegfeld's "Whoopee!" (before being replaced before the opening by Ethel Shutta) in 1928, the same year she married Al Jolson. The two met in Los Angeles (not at Texas Guinan's as he would claim), where Granlund had sent her to assist in the marketing campaign for "The Jazz Singer". Jolson was smitten and immediately proposed. The couple married September 21, 1928 in Port Chester, New York in a private ceremony. The two sailed the following morning for a brief honeymoon before she began her tour with "Whoopee!" She was 19 years old, and he was around 42.
