Experience the excitement of New York in the late1950’s through the eyes of an ingénue who becomes a model and actress. Learn how her path leading to college. . . . takes a detour from beauty pageants to New York City and into a modeling and acting career that leads to the famous Rehearsal Club where so many young hopefuls began and later became famous. See who she met while she was there. When asked what were your ultimate aspirations? Broadway? Hollywood? Ruth replied, “I never had any real aspirations…was just on a fascinating learning curve that I became propelled into from nothing I set out to do. It all “just happened” like a snowball gathering snow as it races along merrily on its way, grounded, and yet soaring like a star, each new development through other people constantly keeping me in action. No chance for ego to enter into any of it as it was all just a continuing marvelous experience. A lovely blessing perhaps as I was followed by a guardian angel with new aspirations or experiences for me. When she decided I had had enough she placed my future husband in my heart, a man I had met almost ten years before New York, and moved me onto a new and different life.”
