Eugenia Lincoln "Jinx" Falkenburg (January 21, 1919 โ August 27, 2003) was an American actress and model. She married journalist and publicist Tex McCrary in 1945.[1][2] Known as "Tex and Jinx", the couple pioneered and popularized the talk show format, first on radio and then in the early days of television. They hosted a series of interview shows in the late 1940s and early 1950s that combined celebrity chit-chat with discussions of important topics of the day.[3]
