Toby Wing Facts
Toby's younger sister, Pat Wing, was also an actress. Pat's son, William Perry (1936-2006), Toby's nephew, was a former actor who appeared in touring musical productions of "My Fair Lady" and "Take Me Along". He also performed as half of the comedy team of "Joanie and Bill" -- the Joanie being none other than Joan Rivers. William later retired from show business and became a real estate agent.
Over the winter of 1939-40, although essentially retired, Toby toured - with Rita Rio (Dona Drake) and her "All Girl Orchestra" with actresses Marie Wilson and Faith Bacon (from the Earl Carroll Vanities) across the United States. The actresses made numerous benefit appearances on behalf of the Infantile Paralysis Fund and Christmas Seals Tuberculosis campaign during the tour.
One of the most engaged starlets in Hollywood. She was engaged to Jackie Coogan for most of 1935 (during the time he discovered his parents had spent his childhood fortune, hit the bottle and they broke up). She claimed to be engaged to pilot John Helm at the time of his death and then was briefly engaged to actor/singer/composer (and one-time co-star) Pinky Tomlin in November, 1936. Despite all the engagements, she married only once - to world-famous pilot Dick Merrill, whom she met in 1938. After their wedding she appeared on Broadway in the Cole Porter flop, 'You Never Know' and retired.
