...met Jim Elliot and Peter Fleming-two of the dead missionaries-a few years ago, and was anxious to learn the complete story of this untimely tragedy. I cannot help agreeing with the statement you printed from Ed McCulIy's father: "God makes no mistakes."

But at 14 she blossomed into something approaching her present contours, entered a beauty contest, won third prize and was off to Rome. Two years later Italian Producer Carlo Ponti met her and launched her in the movies. In the next four years, she ground out 20 films, nine in 1953 alone.
