Original Toronto Star caption: As a 14-year-old singer Canda King was headed for stardom with an appearance on the Ed Sullivan show and a movie part. But it all came to nothing, and she ended up singing at the Skyline Hotel and doing a bit of TV work, Now, 12 years later, Vanda King is going to have her own CTV network show. You know, I don't think I've ever been disillusioned, she says.
