The Flaming Story Of A “Hostess” To 51,840 Soldiers

This is what happened to Mamie Stover, a six-foot tall girl from Mississippi, with a shock of yellow hair and a ferocious determination to get rich and respectable. She won a beauty contest, got tossed out of Hollywood and landed in Honolulu, where with the assistance of a war and the U.S. Army she made her pile and an indelible impression on thousands of American flghting men.
