There She Is . . .

In addition to being Miss America 1965, Vonda Kay Van Dyke authored not one, but two teen advice books -- That Girl in Your Mirror in 1966, and Dear Vonda Kay the following year. This is enough in itself to guarantee her a place in the Mystery Date pantheon of greatness, but Vonda Kay always was an over-achiever. She lent her talents to the wonderful Teenage Diary lp (which, by the way, you can read about in MD #2), in addition to the not-so-hot Here's Vonda Kay album. You can read more about her, and her ventriloquism dummy, Kurley-Q, in Mystery Date #4.
