Margie Stewart

Margie Stewart (December 14, 1919 – April 26, 2012) was the official United States Army poster girl during World War II. She appeared on twelve posters, of which a total of 94 million copies were distributed.

In addition to appearing in the posters, Stewart toured the U.S. as one of the four members of a group called the Bondbardiers, accompanied by various Hollywood stars, to sell war bonds. In 1945, she toured Europe and was one of the first civilians to enter Germany after the end of the war. Her appearance in London's Hyde Park "caused gridlock." In 1944, Stewart was described in a photo caption as "credited with being the favorite poster girl of men in the U.S. Army." She also posed for posters on the home front, "promoting everything from war bonds to security."

She once estimated that more than 94 million of her posters were distributed worldwide during the war. She also did volunteer work at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.
