In 1954, she starred, along with Bing Crosby, [[Danny Kaye]], and [[Vera-Ellen]], in the movie ''White Christmas''. She starred, in 1956, in a half-hour [[broadcast syndication|syndicated]] television musical-[[variety show]], ''The Rosemary Clooney Show'', which featured [[The Hi-Lo's]] singing group and [[Nelson Riddle]]'s orchestra. The following year, the show moved to [[NBC]] prime time as ''[[Lux (soap)|The Lux Show]] Starring Rosemary Clooney'', but lasted only one season. The new show featured the singing group [[The Modernaires]] and [[Frank DeVol]]'s orchestra. In later years, Clooney often appeared with Bing Crosby on television, such as in the 1957 special ''[[The Edsel Show]]'', and the two friends made a concert tour of Ireland together. On November 21, 1957, she appeared on NBC's ''[[The Ford Show|The Ford Show, Starring Tennessee Ernie Ford]]'', a frequent entry in the "Top 20" and featuring a musical group called "The Top Twenty". In 1960, Clooney and Crosby co-starred in a [[The Bing Crosby – Rosemary Clooney Show|20-minute CBS radio program]] that aired before the midday news each weekday.
 
The last major chart hit Clooney had was "I've Grown Accustomed To Your Face", released in May 1956, at which point rock-and-roll was quickly driving established pop singers from the charts.
 
Clooney left Columbia Records in 1958, doing a number of recordings for [[MGM Records]] and then some for [[Coral Records]]. Finally, toward the end of 1958, she signed with [[RCA Victor]], where she recorded until 1963. In 1964, she was signed to [[Reprise Records]], and in 1965 to [[Dot Records]].
