When Mamie Eisenhower - with her reputation as the ideal homemaker, Army wife, mother, and grandmother - wore a delicate, spangled-pink gown to her husband, Ike's, Inaugural Ball, it inspired homemakers everywhere and christened Mamie Pink as the height of domestic femininity. During this one-hour engaging portrayal, you can visit with Mamie, sample her favorite fudge recipe, and learn about her life. Find out what it was like living in Panama and the Philippines between the world wars and about her loving relationship with Ike, which weathered horrible rumors and long separations. And oh! Those bangs!
