Apparently she's always had her heart in the right place:
Venus Ramey
Miss America 1944
She entertained in service camps, sold war bonds and toured in vaudeville. In addition to a citation from the United States Treasury Department for her work in the War Bond effort, Venus Ramsey's picture was painted on the side of fighter planes. These planes made sixty-eight raids over war torn Germany, and never lost a man. At a time when it seemed the country was losing the war, this story made the Associated Press and built a nation's morale.
(from the Miss American website)

Wow! This lady is something else. Here’s some more of her in the press from 1999:
“Former Miss America Venus Ramey is taking on the U.S. government over its tobacco policy.
Acting as her own lawyer and seeking $300 billion in damages, Ramey filed a federal lawsuit last Friday against the U.S. Justice Department.
Ramey, who was Miss America 1944, is now 74 and living on a farm north of Eubank. She wants to save the tobacco industry from possible extinction and get farmers back on their feet. . . Ramey, who represented the District of Columbia in the Miss America pageant, said her family has grown tobacco for 350 years and she has been a tobacco farmer for 50 years. . . The lawsuit accuses the government and President Clinton of trying ``to destroy a successful, lucrative American industry.’’

Kentucky has always bred the most beautiful women in the world. The very first Miss America came from the street just down below me. She must be deceased now and I can’t even remember her name.

This is one inspiring story. God bless that generation!
(I am embarrassed for mine, though we have some good folk too.)
