In 1964, Albright appeared again with Stevens on his short-lived CBS dramaMr. Broadwayin the episode Sticks and Stones Can Break My Bones. Two years later, when actressDorothy Malonehad to undergo emergency surgery, Albright filled in for her as the character Constance Mackenzie on the prime-time soap operaPeyton Place. At the time, Albright called the role one of the biggest challenges of my theatrical career.12She continued to perform in films and to make guest appearances on television until her retirement in 1984.7
In 1958, Albright was cast inPeter Gunn, the television detective series produced byBlake Edwardsand scored byHenry Mancini. She played sultry Edie Hart, a nightclub singer and the romantic interest of Peter Gunn (Craig Stevens). She was perfect casting for that role because she had an off-the-cuff kind of jazz delivery that was very hard to find, Mancini said in 1992. Just enough to believe that shed be singing in that club and that she shouldnt be on Broadway or doing movies.11Over the course of 114 episodes produced forPeter Gunn, Albright sang in 38 of them, covering jazz classics such asHow High the Moon,7A Good Man Is Hard to Find, Easy Street, and Day In, Day Out.

Albright was born inAkron, Ohio, to Marion A. (ne Harvey) and John Paul Albright, both of whom were gospel music singers. The family lived at 552 Fairfield Avenue in the city, but the federal census of 1930 records that Lola, her parents, and her widowed maternal grandmother, Lelia D. Harvey, were all living that year in Akron in the home of Alma L. Barton, Lolas great-aunt, also a widow.1That census further documents that Lolas mother also was born in Ohio but her father was a native of North Dakota, who in 1930 supported the family by working as an inspector in a local insulating business.12
