50BOLD Chats with 70s icon Jayne Kennedy Overton
Jayne Kennedy Overton is a timeless beauty and symbol of an era in the 70s that we as 50-plus folks remember fondly. It’s also an unarguable fact that the sexy Sepia “It girl” possessed the ability to make Black men weak in the knees (including yours truly!). Jayne came into the spotlight as a beauty queen titleholder (first African American to win Miss Ohio, 1970) and then soared on her own. Over the years, the statuesque actress, model, writer, corporate spokesperson, sportscaster, philanthropist, and businesswoman has more than proven that her brilliance extends far beyond the beauty pageant stage.
