Among this motley group was Jeanne Carmen, a leading lady with another film-like biography. A pin-up model and B-movie actress, she came to the world of golf thanks to professional Jack Redmond, whom she met at a photo shoot. Redmond saw potential and talent, began training her with Jimmy Demaret, and managed to get her to be part of his shows after six months. In one of her most famous tricks, she would place three balls on top of each other (something that is difficult enough in itself), hit the middle one to make it reach about 200 yards, catch the top one with her hand and leave the bottom one still. Together with Redmond, she did three shows a day on courses on the East Coast and earned up to $1,000 a day.
Later, in association with a second-rate Italian mobster, she earned a good extra income as a hook for various scams, usually by posing as a dumb blonde with no experience in golf. Later, already in Hollywood, she began a close relationship with Marilyn Monroe (she claimed to have shared lovers, such as John Fitzgerald Kennedy or Milton Berle), crossed paths with Elvis Presley and became known as the Queen of Movie B for the numerous low-budget films she starred in.
