And Everything Nice is an American fashion-themed television program that was broadcast on the DuMont Television Network from March 8, 1949, through January 9, 1950. The program was hosted by Maxine Barratt.[1]
Overview
[edit]Barrat chatted with guests and presented fashion tips for women of the 1940s. The program, produced and distributed by DuMont, aired live:
