Born Virginia Ruth Egnor in Lincoln County, Dagmar was a celebrated actress and comedian known for her role on NBC's Broadway Open House. Her deadpan humor earned her widespread fame, even landing her on the cover of Life magazine in 1951. Despite the short run of her own show, Dagmar's Canteen, she continued to thrive in nightclubs and summer theater after her 1950s peak.
