Falkenburg

Eugenia Lincoln "Jinx" Falkenburg (January 21, 1919 – August 27, 2003) was an American actress and model.

During the war Falkenburg traveled extensively on USO tours entertaining troops. The most arduous was a 42,000-mile 80-stop series of shows in the rugged China-Burma-India theatre of operations.[12] In 1945 she was awarded the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal for her contributions.[4]
