Jinx Falkenburg
Eugenia Lincoln "Jinx" Falkenburg (21 January 1919 – 27 August 2003) was an actress, expert swimmer and tennis star, and one of the highest-paid and most ubiquitous cover-girl models in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s - one of the first supermodels. She married journalist and influential publicist Tex McCrary in 1945.〔Autobiography: Jinx, Jinx Falkenburg, Duell, Sloan and Pearce (1951)〕
Known as "Tex and Jinx" to most American households, the glamorous couple pioneered and popularized the talk-show format, first on radio and then in the early days of television. They hosted a series of interview shows in the late 1940s and early 1950s that combined celebrity chit-chat with discussions of important topics of the day.
==Early life==
Born in Barcelona, Spain, to American parents, her father Eugene "Genie" Lincoln Falkenburg was an engineer for Westinghouse. Thinking the name would bring good luck, she was nicknamed Jinx by her mother Marguerite "Mickey" Crooks Falkenburg, an accomplished athlete and tennis player (Brazil women's champion in 1927), and the name stuck.〔〔"Jinx Falkenburg, All American cover girl and actress," Independent newspaper, U.K., Sept. 24, 2003〕 All the Falkenburg offspring became known for their tennis abilities. Bob Falkenburg, Jinx's younger brother, won the men's singles championship at Wimbledon in 1948.〔
The family moved to Santiago, Chile where she spent her early years. She first received media attention at age two when the New York Sun ran a full-page picture and story of her exploits as a "baby swimmer."〔 A revolution in Chile caused the family to return to the United States and the family moved to Los Angeles, California. She attended Hollywood High School but left in 1935 at the age of 16 to pursue a career in acting and modeling.〔
