I recently found this nice photograph, on ebay; I had never seen it before. It is of my mother, from the end of 1949. She was twenty-one, at the time the picture was taken, and was one of the featured singers on Kay Kyser's new weekly television program on NBC; the show began airing at the start of December, that year. My parents had been married in August.
She sang on Kay Kyser's show until the end of 1950, when the program went off the air.
