Charla Doherty(1946-1988)

Her father won second prize in the famous "I can't stand Jack Benny" contest. The $1500 prize money paid for all the expenses attendant to Charla's birth, in addition to 6 months rent on the family's apartment. After becoming an actress, she got a role on an episode of The Jack Benny Program (1950). When she reported for rehearsal, she brought with her a Photostat copy her father had made of his prize-winning check. "I think Mr. Benny looked sort of nostalgic when he saw it", she said.
