When she’s forced to take a job as a hat check girl at a nightclub, her life takes an unexpected turn when the publisher of "View" magazine randomly selects her for a cover feature, assigning ace photographer Pete Fletcher to shoot her. The cover by Leonard Starr captures the moment just before everything changes.
