Ladies’ Home Journal ran a full-page advertisement
featuring Pat Suzuki outside the Shubert Theatre in
Boston. As it turned out, the photographer would
become her husband as explained in the August 1961
issue of Ladies’ Home Journal (below).
Ladies’ Home Journal
August 1961
page 3: Mark Shaw, photographer for The Kennedys
on Vacation (cover and page 32), met his wife while
on a Journal assignment in 1958. Mrs. Shaw is the
vivacious Pat Suzuki, who rose to stardom in Flower
Drum Song. “In fact,” says Mark, “I met her the very
day the show opened in Boston. I was shooting a
picture of Pat for a Journal ad, using the title of her
hit song from the show, “I Enjoy Being a Girl.”
Evidently Mark enjoyed it too. They have nine-month-
old son, David—“who was born just about the time
John F. Kennedy Jr. arrived in the world.”
