Miss Marine Recruiter

The earliest instance I find is 1952; the latest, 1974.

Here's one gal from each decade--with a bonus dog!

The 1956 one looks like the same Betsy Palmer who played Jason's mother in the first Friday the 13th movie.

Patrick -- that's an impressive catch!

Wow -- that's a new one on me! I never heard of "Masquerade Party," and it isn't listed on her IMDB page. The show's page does show her doing three episodes.

I have to wonder what the qualifications for being: "Miss (anything)" are. She was thirty years old and had been married two years . . .

Betsy Palmer was a mainstay of the TV game show "I've Got a Secret."
