TOP S (Television's Own ^Promising S)y/ci Starlets)/ continued M Judy Tyler is a vivacious girl whose great big voice can “sell” any song. She came to television from featured roles in five Broadway musicals and delighted children of all ages with her “Princess Summerfall Winterspring” on Howdy Doody Time. In addition to playing dramatic leads, she has appeared with Bob Hope and Sid Caesar—and has even been “straight man” for Milton Berle. Her future looks bright. Sarah Meade found her way to television via the theater in Europe, where she spent four years acting with the American Theater in Paris and the Gaiety Theater in Dublin. Her per¬ formance in “The Women” on TV last season focused atten¬ tion on her acting' ability, and casting directors started beating a path to her door. This season will see her con¬ centrating her efforts on television—successfully, no doubt. Joan de Marrais, a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, with a background of 15 Broadway and off- Broadway shows, came to the fore this past year with her display of lyric acting, her ability to create the illusion of beauty and maintain complete dignity in difficult parts. She wants to do some comedy and also hopes for a chance to prove that she has dancing as well as dramatic ability. Deirdre Owens has a solid Little Theater and Broadway background packed into her 22 years. This past season, she scored in five Kraft Theater performances, on The General Electric Theater (with Wally Cox) and on Studio One. Her varied roles ranged from a 16-year-old school girl to a gray¬ haired teacher. She is a hard-working, dedicated actress who has mastered her craft. You will hear more of her. Sally Jessup is a pert yoxmg lady who started life as a painter but soon switched to acting as a career, chalking up appearances on many of the top dramatic programs telecast from New York City. She has genuinely fine talent, combined with a rare beauty. A serious student of the drama, she learns quickly. She’s definitely on her way up, and still wants to add musical comedy to her accomplishments. Betty Ann Grove, who came up in television on the Stop the Music show and then went to Broadway for the hit show, “Kiss Me, Kate,” has really blossomed out on The Big Payoff as one of television’s hottest singers. Her voice has a warm and wholesome quality which makes her a big favorite with both teen-agers and mature audiences. Her personality is just another guarantee that she’ll hit the very top. 10
