Crain ->
Won
A Beauty Contest |
 |
When
Jeanne Crain won a beauty contest in Long Beach, California
in 1942 she knew nothing about the movies or acting.
She was just a very pretty girl, that looked particularly
good when wearing a bathing suit.On the other hand

A girl would have to extraordinary daft not to fit

The
"Bathing Suit" Girl |
No

mid 30s and danced all over the continent and did
several tours in the States. So great was her success
in the West End production of "On Your Toes"
in London that Samuel |

no secret of her age, she was born Myrna Williams
in Montana in 1905. She started her career using
