I’m teting to locate an old friend who was miss subway in the fifties.
Her name is Rita Rogers who lived in the city 551 west 160 st.
I met her in New Bedford, Mass. where she would visit her uncle during the summer time.
Last time I saw her was in 1952 when I was in the Navy.
Thank you for any help rendered.

Is there someone we can contact at MTA (their webpage not working) to find out if Beatrice Palmer was either a Miss Subway (probably back in the ’40s), or a nominee. Would love to have cc of her poster for her upcoming 90th birthday in January. FYI, Beatrice Palmer LaCorte lives in FL, traveled by herself last yr. to spend two weeks in PA with me, and walks 3 miles a day! I wish I had her energy. Have already been in touch with people at Ellen’s Stardust Diner. They can’t find anything.

Thanks for your help.

I am trying to locate information re: Ms. Subway, Ana Lopez. Her daughter is seeking information. She was the first Puerto Rican MS. Subway and the years must have been about 1970 or earlier.

I remember that Doris Day was a Miss Subways under her real name which I cannot recall now but it began with a K.

My husband’s aunt, Beatrice Palmer LaCorte, was Miss Subways probably back in the 1940’s. We are not sure of the date. She will be celebrating her 90th birthday Jan. 12, 2010 and we would love to get our hands on a copy of her poster. Can anyone look this information up for us. Please e-mail me at above address. Many thanks.

I am looking for information on my mother who was a former Miss Subways. Her name was Muriel Dietz. She would have won sometime between 1944 an 1945. I am desperate to locate a copy of the original poster.

Probably. On the Town was written just a few years after Miss Subways started. The Wikipedia entry for Miss Subways lists ‘On the Town’ as a cultural reference.

Was this the basis of the “Miss Turnstiles” in “On the Town” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Town_(film))?
