Celebrity Marriage- TWA's Jack Frye & the former Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.
TWA Head Jack Frye arrives at La Guardia with new bride, Helen Varner Vanderbilt on a TWA airliner (January 18th, 1941)
Jack Frye, president of TWA, and Mrs. Helen Varner Vanderbilt, admitted, "they were having a swell time at the Scottsdale Camelback Inn," but ducked questions regarding reports they are to be married. "We haven't made the deal yet," said Texas-born Frye, while, Mrs. Vanderbilt said, "it might work out." You have to love Jack in his trademark cowboy boots, and Helen, shiek and classy in white slacks and halter top! This image ran nationwide with the title: "The Cowboy & the Lady".
