[78-L] OT Pronunciation question^

[Ray Kilcoyne]

Thanks Randy,
Pretty neat research.  I did check YouTube myself, but didn't find that one.

I've always heard it as second syllable accented--"vah-LEHR-ee". (And first 
name as "DAH-nah" or "Donna", rather than "day-nah")
There's a YouTube video of a 1974 (syndicated) episode of "What's My Line", 
where Dana Valery is one of the celebrity panelists.
Announcer Chet Gould clearly pronounces her name in the intro as "Donna 
vah-LEHR-ee".
