...appeal than, say, ZaSu Pitts, but it is also obvious that a Liz Taylor she's not. If there is an animal splendor about her, it is more pussycat than panther. Her curves do not pop the eyes. Her legs are a little too lean and a mite long (she is 5 ft. 7 in.). Her jaw is on the prognathous side. Her feet are a little less than dainty (size 8); when she played Cinderella on TV, her slipper could almost have fit the Prince. And she's got freckles on her nose...

As beauty queens go, Wahleah Lujan, 18, might be a mite plump, but she had a face Pocahontas could envy and plenty of other assets: a sophomore at Colorado's Fort Lewis College, her primitive Indian abstractions are good enough to hang in both the Chicago Art Institute, and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Wahleah was properly tearful...
Charlotte was something of a wallflower until her middle teens. She was overweight and a mite bossy. But as the time for her debut approached, she took herself in hand, dieted, and straightened her posture. The night of the $250,000 extravaganza, dubbed "the party of the century," she was poised and pretty. Anne's debut two years later was the second party of the century and cost just as much...
