Louise Winslow, who has been referred to as "the Martha Stewart of her day,"[1] was among the first to teach sewing, cooking, and crafts to daytime television audiences in the United States. Winslow hosted weekly radio and television programs in Cleveland, Ohio, for ten years with some of her programs showing nationally.
Personal Life[edit]
Louise Marjorie Otterman was born in Indiana on August 19, 1917, and attended high school in Birmingham and college in Highland Park, Michigan. She was married for a short time to Morris Winslow and kept Winslow after they were separated as her "stage name" throughout her broadcasting career.
Winslow joined the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps in 1942 and taught food preparation at the WAAC officer's school. She was promoted to Commanding Officer of the Allied Service Women's Club in Caserta, Italy, in 1943. While stationed there, she ended up being famous for saying that "women at war deserved ruffled spreads on their beds and ruffled curtains on their windows,"[2] earning her the nickname "Ruffles" Winslow.
Winslow graduated with a Masters Degree from Columbia University in 1946, subsequently taking a position as a home economics instructor at Columbia and Brooklyn College.
In 1950, Winslow married Charles Hutaff on August 29, 1950.[3] She died on May 16, 2001, and is buried in Fort Logan National Cemetery.[4]
Career[edit]
On August 8, 1948, Winslow began hosting a filmed 30-minute cooking program entitled The Women’s Window on Cleveland television station WNBK that aired two times per week.[5] The show began airing four days a week starting on February 20, 1950, at 2 PM[6] with Mondays focused on laundry; Tuesday and Thursday, cooking and recipes; and Wednesday, sewing. The program aired from a specially-built television studio in Cleveland's East Ohio Gas building. Some of the episodes were filmed using three cameras operating simultaneously which allowed the director to pick long shots, close-up shots, and other views without reshooting a scene. It was one of the first times this technique was used in early television.[7]
Winslow also wrote and starred in a weekly half-hour “how-to” show titled At Home and How from studios in New York on ABC's Eastern network. Initially airing on Saturdays, the show moved to Wednesday evenings, staying there for the balance of its run until discontinued in May 1949 in a network program reorganization.
In 1950, Winslow wrote and hosted the nationally-syndicated television show Adventures in Sewing produced by Cinecraft Productions. The show was one of the first uses of three-camera technique of filming a television show.[8]
