Shirley Patterson, 1940s Miss Cali, who was disqualified for being under age. Born on December 26th, 1922, she was only 17 at the time of the Pageant. Runner-up that year took the Cali Crown to the Miss America pageant and Won.
This pic is a couple of years later, when she was a B- flick Star. Her career ended due to a horribly-shattered leg which took 18 months to heal ... by that time Hollywood had found other stars to promote. Sounds like the Queen of Hard Luck
A 1940s Champagne....Apparently, the German Army people didnt believe the French, who told them most of the marketable sugar was gone, so the Champagnes in the Caves in Rheims was worthless, and tried drinking it anyway....Poor lads were VERY disappointed ...but the Cellars had a solid base of wines for sale just after the War Ended in 1945
