Notes
  1. The "Age Hired" is calculated based on a generalized hire date of May 15 for each of the three seasons: 1955 for first season, 1956 for the second, and 1957 for the third.

  2. "Prior Professional Experience" does not necessarily imply a paid performance, but does preclude amateur contests, even if they were televised and there was a monetary prize.

  3. According to Jerry Bowles, Darlene was a backup singer for a demo record cut by Jimmy Boyd. I'm inclined to treat this as a No.

  4. Annette worked as a paid model for several years prior to the show. Modeling isn't show business, but it requires a lot of the same skills. You make the call.
