On New Years Day 1953, Aleene joined Ray Maypole (KTTV) for
color commentary of the line-up of Rose Parade floats.
Aleene described for the viewing audience, the various floral decorations on the
floats lined up on Orange Grove Boulevard in Pasadena,
California. In most of her photos of this era she could be found sporting one of her trademark wood fibre flower corsages. On this day, it was of course, a red rose! The Rose Parade grand marshall on this date was Richard M. Nixon. This week would continue to be a stellar one for Aleene. She was featured in the January 5, 1953 issue of Life Magazine |
