Photograph was edited for publication purposes; Photograph appears to be part of a series of photographs taken for an article dated January 20, 1961. Photograph article dated February 1, 1961 partially reads, "When does life begin?--'at 40,' says the book...And Gene Klein, Valley businessman, is inclined to agree as he ably overcomes the pleasant shock of a surprise weekend birthday party staged by his wife, Fran." Pictured is Fran Klein, Encino, modeling a pink satin gown she wore to an inaugural ball held in Washington D.C. honoring President and Mrs. Kennedy on January 20, 1961.
