About Renee Godfrey

Sultry-eyed, dark-haired and exquisite-looking, New York City native Renee Godfrey certainly had the earnestness and requisite beauty to catapult herself to the top of the film industry but, in the end, fell short of her initial potential. She later put her career on the back burner to raise a family.

She won the "Miss New York" crown in 1935. She also won the "Swimsuit" competition -- over the entire field of contestants -- in The Miss America Pageant.
