Long before Vanna, there was Dolores Roxanne Rosedale (who went only by her
middle name), who appeared every Saturday night on the original CBS version
of "Beat the Clock," snapping a photo of the couples in the aftermath of
the more gungy stunts with her camera loaded with the sponsor's Sylvania
Blue Dot flashbulbs ("Blue Dot for sure shots")--at one point a doll was
made of her and was given away by host Bud Collyer if the couples had
brought their kids with them--she left the show in 1955 to have a baby and
pursue an acting career, which at its height included appearing with
Marilyn Monroe in "The Seven-Year Itch," but eventually went to parenthood
full-time--she died May 2 in her birthplace of Minneapolis:
