LEE MERIWETHER

It’s crazy to see that pageant queen, Lee Meriwether, will celebrate her 86th birthday in May. She will probably go down as a legend for her sophistication and elegant beauty while also being an influential actress. Some may even remember her as one of the first to wear the iconic Catwoman black suit in Batman, released back in 1966. She is most known for her pageantry as she is the 1955 Miss America titleholder.

Meriwether was really passionate about acting. As a matter of fact, Lee earned a degree in TV and Theater Arts at the City College of San Francisco. Later on, the aspiring actress got nominated to join Ms. San Francisco in 1954, which ultimately paved the way for her to join the Today Show as Today Girl for two consecutive years. She’s had a prosperous career starting 1959 in the film 4D. Her last known role was in the TV series All My Children in 2011 but worry not, for she’s still working in the industry.
