X-ray Photos Find Girl With Perfect Back at Health Show (Oct, 1933)

X-ray Photos Find Girl With Perfect Back at Health Show
THE X-ray was the final judge in selecting the girl with the most perfect back at California’s health show in Los Angeles.
After examining X-ray photographs of all the girls entered in the contest, Dr. Lester V. Donovan picked Miss Judith Allen, young movie actress, as the winner. An X-ray of Miss Allen’s back showed a spine in perfect alignment, unmarred by any curvature.

The young lady hails from Boston and is said to have a promising film career ahead. The photo at the right shows attractive Miss Allen and the remarkable X-ray picture held by Dr. Donovan.

    If IMDB is to be believed, she was in 38 films and passed away about 10 years ago.

    This surpasses X-ray machines in shoe stores as the stupidest use of ionizing radiation in history.

    Actually, I disagree. I think that this use takes the cake:
