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.

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.
