She was once described as having “a face like Grace Kelly and a body like Marilyn Monroe”. I wouldn’t go as far as that, but Rosemarie Bowe was something else.
Unusually for Hollywood, she was married to only one man — Robert Stack — and she pretty much quit acting when the two kids came along, only going back once they had grown.
Lovely.
Robert Stack was a champion skeet shooter and a big time gun guy.
…and needless to say, a lifelong Republican.
With Rosemarie, Bob tracked down a beauty, and locked her up.
A little more detail on Stacks shooting career…

First love. Dazzled by her age 12 watching her movie: The Golden Mistress.

I thought she looked familiar.
Having done modeling work in the past, Bowe secured work in Los Angeles as a model, appearing in several pin-up portraits by artist Gil Elvgren. Elvgren was famous for celery and broken elastic in pinup girls panties.
