Name that girl


:) cool.

you're in the Name that Girl "Hall of Fame" with half-dozen other folks who are good at this and play regularly, so we'll recognize you at the end if you decide to let it run a while so some other folks can get in on the fun.

thanks!
 
I know who she is... We've even been talking about her indirectly on another thread or two.
 
Gotta let this one run.
You have to be "of age" to get this one!

Born in 1932 in Louisiana, passed away in 2015. Actor and singer.

If you were at least 5 years old in early 1960's chances are you saw this woman's TV work in the long-running role she's most remembered for.

She did a few movies too .. thought she would have been a bigger movie star .. but the small screen stuff, where she got an unfortunate dose of "type casting", dominated her career.

After TV, it was singing gospel and writing and still enjoying generations of fans who werent even born when her TV show was on .. the power of syndication is where you STILL might know her work even if you were born in 1970's-1980's.

Here, at age 16-17 in 1950 on her HS softball team.

Got it. Beautiful. Couldn't cook.
 
I even cheated and didn't get anything.

try googling with some "keyword" strings from the clues if ya didnt already maybe?

google searching the photo directly (not allowed if you dont wanna "cheat" :) ) doesnt work in this case either cuz she's just one of a dozen or so girls in the larger photo.

that said, there's an "angle" you could play with the photo and maybe zero in on her that way?
 
you "regulars" who have solved it (where's 65sporty? :poke:), thanks for letting it run.

perhaps when its done you could chime in if yuo get a chance and tell us how you solved it? that might help more folks became Hall of Famers too :)
 
Yeah, that was what I tried first. Came up empty with that "angle" thing. But persistence pays off and I finally figured it out.

bravo. :)

hmm... send you a PM with a keyword phrase and i DID get a big clue. coulda been something stuck in the cache .. but I tried again after clearing it and still got it.

thx!
 
Took me a little, never would have got this without a couple clues in the initial post.

I was short for time, I have to dig out my detective hat for the next one!
