Rose Marie Magrill

Rose Marie Magrill

Rosemary (stage name Rose Marie) Magrill was Miss Florida in 1939. At the time she was crowned she was underage at only 14 years.

In order to compete in the Miss Florida pageant, girls were required to be at least 18 and were carefully screened for age, but there were 260 other girls in the contest and Magrill was able to complete the screening process without being asked her age. Her true age was not revealed to contest officials until after her crowning, when she was competing for the title of Miss America. Magrill was permitted to continue in the Miss America contest, where she ultimately finished as a semi-finalist.

After the Miss America contest, Magrill remained in New York and became a Broadway dancer. She was the cover girl for True Story magazine in October, 1939. A November 2006 article in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel listed her as a dancer with the Duke Ellington Review and the George White's Scandals among others.

Magrill is currently a dance instructor in Pompano Beach, Florida.
