Although Tex and Jinx was seldom heard on a network, the principals were known far and wide. They were "Mr. Brains and Mrs. Beauty." as reported Jerome Beatty put it: he was the learned Yale graduate; she the cover girl of more than 200 magazines, the actress, the tennis and swimmimg expert. They met when she was a film star (though never a very good one, she would admit) and he was a reporter for the New York Daily Mirror sent to interview her. John Reagan (Tex) McCrary and Eugenia Lincoln (Jinx) Falkenburg were married June 10, 1945, after a globehopping courtship made necessary by war (she entertained troops, and he was on duty with the Army Air Force). _{John Dunning}
