Born on this day in 1920: cartoonist, magazine columnist, and television host
Betty Betz, who created columns and artwork in the 1940s for
Seventeen and
Woman's Home Companion that eventually evolved into a line of cxards, books, dresses and staionary — think the 1940s equivalent of 1970s Holly Hobbie! Her cartoon creation "Dollface" was featured in an issue of Dell's
Four Color. That's Betty herself on the cover (top photo):
