Early years
Warner and her twin sister, Sonia, began entertaining with a singing act when they were five years old.[2]
Modeling
As the face of exotica, she appeared on the first 12 Martin Denny album covers, and 16 in total, beginning with Exotica in 1957, which reached no.1 in the Billboard charts.
Martin Denny recalls, "She was a stunning model, extremely photogenic. She posed for at least the first dozen albums I did. They always changed her looks to fit the mood of the package."[3]
She later went on to release an album of her own: Steve Allen Presents Fair and Warner, for which Martin Denny wrote the sleeve notes.
She also appeared as cover girl for other artists such as Mickey Katz's The Most Mishige.[4]
