Mitzi Mayfair, born as Emylyn Pique, (6 June 1914 - May 1976) took the professional name of Mitzi Mayfair. She was a tap dancer in Broadway plays and appeared in movies from the mid-1930s into the 1940s. She was married to 20th Century Fox executive Charles Henderson. Her biggest claim on enduring fame was appearing as herself in the movie Four Jills in a Jeep (1944); the true story of this movie chronicles how she and three other Hollywood celebrities went to the front lines of World War Two to entertain the U.S. Troops.
