Miss Movie Girl Betty Philbin and her sister

Miss Movie Girl Betty Philbin and her sister

Cork Film Festival, Miss Movie Girl, Betty Philbin

This is a black and white photo of Miss Movie Girl 1973, Betty Philbin, taken at the airport. Philbin, wearing a white suit accessorised with large sunglasses, and surrounded by her luggage, is accompanied by her sister, also in similarly large sunglasses. A similar item in the archive shows Philbin and her sister at the airport with film festival committee members and we might suppose that they are on festival business as part of the winning prize from the Miss Movie Girl competition. In October 1973 Philbin travelled to an International Congress in Venice where she hosted an Irish Whiskey event in the Hotel Excelsior in Lido, Venice. She was also a guest of the organisers of the Arnhem Film Festival in Holland that year.
