Continuing with the second part look at women radio detectives, I look
at another radio detective series in which a woman was the lead private
investigator. Miss Pinkerton, Incorporated starred Joan
Blondell and Dick Powell (right), husband and wife in real life at the
time as Mary Vance, head of the Vance Detective Agency and Police
investigator Murray. The only surviving episode was the premier. This
was a lighter show but clicked as both Blondell and Powell were
naturals in front of a radio microphone.
