Meet
Miss Betty
Betty Douglass: "Romper Room" TV teacher, mother of two, young woman who loves her work — and keeps a cool head, thanks to her sense of humor. That's KMSP-TV's "Miss Betty," who keeps Minneapolis-St. Paul tots on their toes weekday mornings from nine to ten. . . . Born in New York, Betty started in show business by modeling and doing little-theater work. However, a college psychology professor thought she "had a way with children," so, as Betty tells it, "I auditioned for 'Romper Room' and was chosen." Sounds easy, but we know Betty is modest! About the show, she says: "I love my work because I know that we're helping the children get ready for 'big' school. Problems? Well, if you're easily flustered or lose your composure when interrupted in the middle of a sentence — or commercial — then this show would not be for you. I take everything as it comes — and try to do all my commercials ad-lib!" . . . About her home: "Madeleine, Pamela and I live in a small cottage-type house in Minneapolis, near Lake Calhoun. It's mostly modern in design, and 'child-proof.' That's my word for dent and stainproof." . . . Now you know her, KMSP-TV's "Miss Betty."
