Brewer was born in Joplin, Missouri, however her date of birth is a cause for some dispute with some sources stating November 23, 1923[3] or 1924,[4] and others claiming January 17, 1927.[5][6][7] She made her film debut in Rangers of Fortune (1940).[8]

She died in Oakland, California in December 2006.[9][3][7]

There were two Betty Brewers, one born on April 1, 1922 in Little Rock, AR. This was my mother. She sang with Ray Heatherton, Gordon Jenkins and Tommy Dorsey.
