That’s right! It’s Ja’net Du Bois a.k.a. “Wilona!” Did you get it right or no?

When some of us over here at ILOSM first saw this pic, we couldn’t figure it out, but we knew her face looked really familiar. This photo of Ms. Du Bois was taken in 1964 when she was starring alongside Sammy Davis Jr. in the Broadway stage play, Golden Boy.

She was about 19 years old then. Ja’net is now 69 years young…she was beautiful then, and she is still just as beautiful now. Check her out!
