http://www.edsullivan.com/ - Leona Gage appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show just days after the Miss USA Crown was stripped from her because she was married and had two children.
When Mary won the 1957 Miss USA crown, she sent a message to all the married mothers in the world that said even though you are said way, you too can still make an effort to make a better life for your families. In all honesty, I think that the rules of pageants like this should be slightly altered to allow young, married mothers to enter into these beauty pageants. Mary's courage opened the doors for many young women, and her bravery should be rewarded, not shunned. I wish Mary a peaceful rest.

Amazing how much she looked like a young Jacqueline Kennedy in this spot - and even eerier - how much her husband looked like a young Frank Sinatra.
