Theresa Rose Bajt (born April 5, 1956) is a former Miss Montana, and a clinical psychologist practicing in Creve Coeur, MO. She has also published several papers, and acted in a Dick Clark film of the week. ==Biography== Theresa Rose Bajt was born April 5, 1956 to Catholic parents in Joliet, Illinois. Her grandparents emigrated from Croatia. Her father Jack was one of 11 children. He served in the Coast Guard in WWII. After returning from the war he met Theresa Rose’s mom, Sophia Czerkies, a first generation American daughter of Polish and Russian immigrants. They were married for over 50 years. Theresa Rose was the first born of their two children. Her sister Mary Lynn Bajt-Jaeschke, Ph.D. is a research scientist at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. Theresa Rose’s father worked for Olin Blockson for over 40 years. Sophia worked as a factory worker to help support the family and financially allow the girls to attend college. Both parents were dedicated to get their children the education they did not have. Neither Theresa Rose’s mother nor father had a high school diploma. Dr. Bajt attended the University of Dayton for two years. She then transferred to Rocky Mountain College in Billings, Montana. In 1977, while attending school she became Miss Montana U.S.A.〔"Miss Montana USA Past Winners." Atlius Directory. N.p., n.d. Web. 5 Apr. 2011. Her experience as Miss Montana was enough to get Theresa Rose hired as a fundraiser for the Montana State Easter Seal Society. While at a fund raising event the projector broke and Theresa Rose began to ad lib for a half-hour. A hospital administrator was in the audience and was so impressed he offered her a position in marketing at St. Vincent Hospital in Billings, Montana. During her two years at the job she started working on her first masters degree. After finishing her Master’s Degree from Montana State University she was employed as Director of Deferred Prosecution. She worked with first-time law offenders who were offered rehabilitation instead of prosecution. As she counseled the offenders to “Go for their dreams”, she motivated herself to try for her own. She then moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting and writing. Eventually, she landed a small role in the Dick Clark film of the week, ''Reaching for the Stars'', in 1985.〔"Reaching for the Stars (1985) (TV) - Full cast and crew."
