Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings. The early years in the 1930s show the interaction of motion pictures, recordings, the stage, radio and even politics. The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

They have come to love Aunt Jenny and seem to fear that Agnes Young will be "just an actress." But even the most critical and most expectant of these women are delighted, for Agnes Young is a surprising person in her own right. "If they are disappointed, it is only in one way," says her daughter Nancy. "They expect Mother to be aged and gray." Agnes Young has brown hair. Her gray-blue eyes are very bright and alert. For all her professional experience and her twentythree-year-old daughter, she is a young woman — young in appearance and young in heart — but her (Continued on page 85) Agnes Young stars in the title role of Aunt Jenny, as heard over CBS Radio, M-F, at 12:15 P.M. EST, for Spry and other products of Lever Brothers. Agnes Young's hobbies couldn't be more typical of Aunt Jenny: Crocheting colorful afghans . . . baking the most delectable desserts . . . sharing playful moments with the Siamese cat, "Barnaby" . . . and — above all— creating a complete family life, the year around, for husband Jimmy Wells and their actress-daughter Nancy. 34
