This is the first time I came across this lady. My grandfather had this lp, Hawaii calling by The Polynesians, with guest vocalist Marie Terangi, Crown CST 223. As a kid, I had assumed she was Marie Terangi, since I knew the guys were The Polynesians. Years later, after seeing pictures of the actual Marie Terangi, I KNEW this could NOT have been her...so, she became yet another nameless Polynesian model.

Here she is again, with friends, on Hawaiian holiday by Kane Nui & His Island Boys, Modern ST 818 (actually recordings of The Polynesians under a fake name).

She appears again, this time on Frankie Carle's interesting lp Honolulu Honky Tonk,RCA Victor LSP 2540, c1962, with yet a different model, in a different setting, but with that same red sarong...her make up & hair are identical in ALL the shots which makes me think they must have all been taken on the same day.

Paradise is a state of mind.
