Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Sally Mansfield was the daughter of Samuel Mahder (October 5, 1901 - April 14, 1970) and Marie (Strorigl) Mahder (October 24, 1900 - February 10, 1963) both born in Hungary. Sally studied at Chicago's Children's Summer Theater and the Sherwood Music School, and trod the boards under her birth name at Chicago's Gage Park High School (5630 Rockwell Street) in the school's stage presentation of "The Tailormade Man" on June 19th and 20th, 1941. At NBC Radio in New York, she was heard on daytime dramas and commercials, then joined the Don Arden Dancers there and in Las Vegas. She became a contract player for Paramount Pictures in 1951 and traveled to Korea to participate in troop shows. By 1954, she represented the television-industry award ceremonies as Miss Emmy. Her major role, however, is as Vena Ray, the navigator and assistant aboard the United Worlds rocket ships Orbit Jet and Silver Moon in the syndicated television series "Rocky Jones, Space Ranger" (1954).

Sally volunteered to entertain GIs in Korea during the 1952 Christmas-season holidays, traveling by dog sled to some remote points where the shows were presented in quonset huts and on runways. She wore an <a class="ipc-md-link ipc-md-link--entity" href="/name/nm0372128/?ref_=nmtrv_trv">Edith Head</a> custom-designed sweater with insulated padding in the back to protect against the -30 degree cold, but with no leg covering save for long stockings.

Her father, Sam Mahder, nicknamed her &#39;Sally&#39;.
