Biography

American record producer, born March 29, 1927, Aberdeen, Mississippi; died September 21, 2009, Harrison, New York (age 82).
Married to C. Robert Fine (1957); their son is audio engineer Thomas Fine.
Along with her husband, they ran the classical division of Mercury Records in the 1950s and early 1960s.
Raised in Fort Worth, Texas, and studied music education and business at North Texas State University. Started her career as conductor Antal Dorati's personal secretary in Dallas, then with the Minnesota Symphony, then reocated to New York and became vice president of Mercury Records in 1954. Retired in 1964 to raise her children, but came out of retirement in the 1990s to produce again, this time to satisfy the demand for CD reissues of the Mercury Living Presence LPs, which are widely praised for the precise and dynamic sound the couple achieved with their special recording and mixing skills.
