<==about photo left> Jean became the L.A. Shakespeare Society's first Shakespeare girl - - founder/President, R. Thad Taylor, makes the presentation. Part of Jean's task as the first Shakespeare Girl was welcoming England's Royal Shakespeare Society cast to Los Angeles. Jean's escort to most events like this was Joseph Brienza, the hair stylist for the Jean London Shows, (standing behind her in photo's). Johnny Crawford was a welcomed guest that I had known since his youth on The Rifleman TV show. Also attending was movie star, John Payne, and his wife, and Lily Lipton, publicist for stars, who also appeared as a Hollywood Panel guest of the Jean London Show. R. Thad Taylor, founder and President of the Shakespeare Society of America, was born in Madison, South Dakota and left Madison in 1942 as a teenager. <Click on picture to expand> |

The 'Miss Film World' title took Jean
to Germany for appearances and a costarring role in 'The Starmaker' with Wendel
Corey. Former Mr. America and Mr. Universe, Reg Lewis, who was a dear friend
escorted the entourage to the airport in his great old car. Wendel Corey
arrived and the two waited for their flight arrival as the film producer picked
up their first-class tickets. Can you believe those costumes! What year was
that? Oh! yes it was the Sixty's - 1968. This trip was special for Jean also
as her father had fled from Hitler's Germany when he was a young man . . . and,
she also went to the Benz plant to secure the mechanical handbook (in German) so
she could work on her own 1960 190SL when she returned. <Click to expand>
