Born in Flushing, New York, the impressively endowed Patty Jo Harmon was discovered as a guest on You Bet Your Life 1950 by Groucho Marx and later was invited to work with him on Tell It to Groucho 1962.
The 40s also brought us the Slinky, Velcro, Jeep, Tupperware and Frisbee.
Not that Harmon was totally aware of her impact.
