Anna Helen Thacker - 1939
Anna Helen Thacker was the 1939 princess representing the Nuevo Laredo Golf Club at the annual Mexico City Country Club beauty contest. Nuevo Laredo is the Mexican city directly across the border from Laredo, Texas. Laredo was the preferred border crossing town for the wealthy socialites of Mexico City when they traveled to the United States. Anna is wearing a necklace in the Retro Modern style, radical for this time and place. This sleek, forward-looking design was perfectly suited for such a direct, straightforward young woman.
