Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated January 4, 1950 partially reads, "Phyllis Moriarty, a Burbank singer, flew to Alaska today to collect a $10 bet...She had to pose for a picture at Hollywood and Vine - in fur parka and mukluks - to win it. She was in Alaska last winter...a discussion among a group of her Alaskan friends over clothes styles of the frozen north led to the wager. She returned to her home...bundled up and stood on the corner and while an amused crowd watched, had her picture taken. She took the picture with her when she left Lockheed Air Terminal for Fairbanks via United Airlines yesterday afternoon."
