Robbin Bain, who covered fashion and beauty as a “Today Girl” on the NBC morning show, died Oct. 21 in Southampton, NY. She was 87.

Bain’s daughter, Lara McLanahan, told Deadline that breast cancer was the cause of her death.

Born on Aug. 10, 1936, Barbara Jane Bain’s career got underway in 1959 when the Queens native was crowned Miss Rheingold, which was the region’s most popular beer at the time.

Earning the $50,000 prize, Bain made several appearances across the US and Europe and was even tapped for Revlon and Helena Rubinstein ads.

“Today” is 71 years old.

“Yesterday” would be a more appropriate name for the show.

Carol Channing was one of those Big Broadway/ Hollywood people, where you never knew exactly when the made up character stopped and where Carol began. She seemed to be in a world of her own.
