Margie Stewart(1919-2012)
- Actress
The beautiful Margie Stewart was the first and only Official Army
Poster girl during WWII and many millions of pin up photos were
distributed to soldiers across the globe. In fact, Eleanor Roosevelt
actually tried, but failed to get the posters stopped, and many a
soldier was pleased that she did fail. Margie would model in Chicago
and Los Angeles before landing a contract with RKO. Margie made 20
films in a very short period of time, but her experiences in Europe
towards the end of the war led her to relinquishing her film career.
After the war, Margie would marry Jerry Johnson and spend her life
involved in the music industry and Jerry and Margie produced many great
shows at the famous Hollywood Bowl including The Beatles, Barbara
Streisand and The Beach Boys.
Today Margie has three grandchildren and stills works out in her pool every day at the age of 90. She also has a pet tortoise named "Caesar" and he has been Margie's companion now for more than fifty-four years. Margie says, "Caesar is the king of the house. Everyone who knows him brings him Hibiscus blossoms, his favourite food. He is absolutely spoilt rotten!"
