Her photo was published alongside those of 11 other little girls with infantile paralysis. Readers could vote for their favorite by donating a dime per vote. On Jan. 21, 1955, the day she was announced the winner of the contest, the Tribune described Janet as "the little blonde beauty with sparkling blue eyes." She represented the March of Dimes during its fundraising telethons Jan. 28-29, 1961. Blackwood attended Tulsa Public Schools and graduated from the University of Tulsa with a degree in art education. |
