Miss Three Dimension

A number of young women were awarded the title of "Miss Three Dimension" in the early 1950s. But actress Shirley Tegge seems to have been the most widely publicized holder of the title.

The caption on the last one is misleading. Neither she nor Lloyd Nolan were in "Bwana Devil" (1952). Both are in a five minute documentary: "Natural Vision 3-Dimension" (1952), basically explaining 3-D to audiences, which probably ran before the movie.

Great sleuthing, Phideaux! I managed to find "Natural Vision 3-Dimension" on YouTube and posted it above.
