“Who is SHE?” asked Cover Girls Models magazine.
The answer: “She’s new, exciting, exotic. She has the long, clean-limbed look of a dancer (which she is) and the seductive stare of sirens immemorial.”
She was Maila Nurmi, an Oregon girl trying to pose and preen her way to Hollywood stardom in the 1940s.
Sandra Niemi now tells Maila’s story in a new book, “Glamour Ghoul: The Passions and Pain of the Real Vampira, Maila Nurmi,” from the small Seattle-area publisher Feral House.

LEWISTOWN Hundreds of students and scouts will visit Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) state parks this spring to get their hands dirty and learn about natural areas stewardship as part of the annual Earth Day in the Parks event series.
Participants will help plant pollinator gardens and other native wildflowers and grasses, transplant tree seedlings, and assist with removing exotic plants to improve habitat.
“Earth Day in the Parks events encourage a sense of ownership among participants in improving natural habitat and helping wildlife in state parks near their homes and schools,” said IDNR Director Colleen Callahan. “These events are more than just field trips as the students, scouts and adults who participate can return to the parks to see that their projects are worthwhile.”
