 Joanie Olander at age 16, Miss Palm Springs. |  My first picture as Mamie Van Doren. | |
 My date with Henry the K at the White House made all the papers. |  | |

 |  Dates with Nicky Hilton, heir to the Hilton Hotel fortune, became more frequent and more serious. | |
 Nicky hadn't been divored from Liz Taylor for very long before he asked me one night if I was interested in going to Las Vegas and getting married. I got scared. I wasn't in love... |  ...and I wasn't in the market for a rich husband. | |
 My first songs at Capitol Records. No one realized that I was a singer before I became an actress. They would rather watchme sing, but this was long before MTV. |  Buddy Hackett and Eddie Fisher visiting backstage. Fisher has certainly become a different person than when I knew him. | |
 Johnny and I could've had a much deeper relationship, but the chemistry wasn't there. |  | |

 My introduction to the silver screen was in The All Amercianopposite Tony Curtis. I was hardly dry behind the ears before they sent me on a publicity tour around the country with Tony and Richard Long. This picture is in Detroit where the movie premiered. | ||
 Audience comment cards from the sneak preview. Thankfully, they loved Mamie! | ||
 I'm wearing a gold lame gown that Howard Hughes bought for me. The other girls, Miss Universes from all over the world were dazzled. | ||
