Look offered an article on what FDR would have said regarding the ongoing intense look back at the events leading to December 7, 1941, a controversy that most Americans have forgotten occurred. But it was probably the slice of cheesecake offered up in the form of actress Colleen Townsend that drew attention to the magazine. Townsend is from California and attended BYU (she was a Mormon growing up). She entered acting through minor roles in the early 40s, but it was magazine covers that drew the publics attention to her. She was one of the Yank pinups. She converted to Presbyterianism in 1948 and married a seminary student in 1950, after which she left acting. She had a long career as a humanitarian and civil rights worker, and is still living.
