Photograph article dated November 3, 1960 partially reads, "She's worked with an Oscar on her desk in lieu of the traditional bud vase. Instead of typing to the tune of piped-in music, she's pounded the typewriter keys and taken dictation while renowned musicians rehearsed in the background. She's Gloria Wennerholm of Van Nuys, personal secretary extraordinary... a girl whose stenographic talents make her tops in her field... a girl who very nearly didn't make it business-wise because she lacks that one trait employers list as a 'MUST'... STICKTOITIVENESS."
