Born 1923 in Midville, Georgia, Tedi Thurman originally planned to become a painter, studying at the Corcoran Institute in Washington, D. C. Her career plans changed, and she went to New York for modeling. Her first shoot wound up as a Vogue cover, bringing with it many other modeling jobs and some work on television soap operas.

Thurman had film offers, but only one role, in the z-grade 1954 Ed Wood movie, Jail Bait. In 1954, Leopold Stokowski needed an accomplished jew’s harpist for a performance of Charles Ives’ symphony, New England Holidays. Thurman was one of the 22 who auditioned, but she lost the gig to two professional musicians.

Thuram found fame in the 1950s as Miss Monitor on NBC’s Monitor, a 40-hour weekend radio show developed by Pat Weaver. She died in 2012, in her sleep at age 89 in Palm Springs, California.
