The March 21, 1949 issue of LIFE featured sixteen-year-old New Yorker Madeline Balcar on its cover and in its pages, eliciting many enthusiastic letters from high school and college boys around the country. Whether she pursued a career in modeling or acting is anyone’s guess, but the “Harvard Outing Club” voted Madeline “as the girl we’d most like to go outing with,” and at least one letter from a woman in Chicago who felt LIFE should have featured a teenage girl who was “typical instead of one with all that icky hair.”
