HOLLYWOOD is still talking about a girl who said "No" to a film contract. She's eighteen-year-old Betty Jean George of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and, by virtue of a title won in competition with 1,800 of the Southwest's fairest, is "Miss Queen of the Southwest of 1935."
Betty Jean won her title in a contest conducted at picture theatres in Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico. She also won a free trip to Hollywood, and a screen test. Offered a part in Eddie Cantor's picture, and later a short-term contract at Paramount, Betty Jean graciously refused. Why? Well, you see Betty Jean hankers to be a designer and creator of women's fashions, and wants to complete her education and preparation for such work, despite the fact that she is an accomplished pianist, a pretty good tap-dancer, the possessor of a pleasing contralto voice, and has studied dramatics at college.
Here are the physical specifications which won Betty Jean her crown in a beauty contest : Dark hair ; brown eyes ; height, 5 feet, 3; bust, 32; waist, 23; hips, 36; thigh, 20; calf, 13; ankle, 8j4 — inches of course.
Betty Jean George of Oklahoma, right, won a beauty contest but refused a movie contract. Above, in Hollywood with Guy Kibbee and his daughter.
