She attended St. Teresa High School and, after graduation, became a model in St. Louis. She went to Chicago for greater opportunities and dated band leader Tommy Dorsey.
Seeking greener pastures, she left for New York and dated both Frank Sinatra and Mel Tormé. While on a date with Sinatra at the El Morocco Club, an agent from the Charles K. Feldman agency spotted her and convinced her to take acting lessons. The agent got her bit parts in six movies and was signed to a contract by Harry Cohn of Columbia Pictures. Cohn changed her stage name to "Susan Perry".
Cohn didn't want her dating Tormé because Cohn thought Mel wasn't a big enough star. However, Candy and Mel married in Mel's hometown of Chicago in February of 1949. Nat 'King' Cole, Peggy Lee and Dorothy Kilgallen were at the wedding. The couple moved to Bel-Air and had two children, a son, Steve March, and a daughter, Melissa Torme-March.
