Mimi was on the TV show Candid Camera in the early 1950's--while her mother and a friend were behind a hidden window--Mimi was brought into an office and told to type some letters--there was an intercom box on the desk and Alan Lund and another genlteman told her of the task at hand and then went into another office--while Mimi was typing the letters, the two gentlemen were off talking about her--and the intercom was set so that she could hear their conversation--the conversation went along the lines of how tall Mimi was and how long her legs were and what a nice looking girl she was--this of course made Mimi blush and not be able to concentrate on her "work". Unfortunately the tape of this show along with others of that era are no longer avaliable as it would have been wonderful for her grandchildren to see how early reality shows really worked
