Photograph article dated March 27, 1961 partially reads, "A 4 1/2-year-old San Fernando girl who is facing a second open heart operation met her favorite playmate in her Pacoima Memorial Hospital room Saturday. Red-haired, brown-eyed Laura Sue Johnson smiled faintly when she came face to face with actor Nick Adams, who portrays Johnny Yuma on the 'Rebel' television program. Because of a congenital heart defect, Laura has seldom played with other youngsters and Western television heroes have become her friends."
