Ms. Monogram 2008, Jennifer Rouse, not only has an impressive resume but is beautiful and talented. She'd be equally as adept as a wisecracking female reporter in a Monogram horror film or a scheming suspect in a Charlie Chan mystery picture. And hey -- how many gorgeous young actresses today can boast of having worked with Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, and Lon Chaney, Jr., as Jennifer did in Terror in the Tropics !?!

Upon donning the fabled Cubic Zirconium Tiara (and noting that some of the rhinestones were missing, for which Brenna Barry, Ms. Monogram 2007, will be billed), Jennifer issued the following statement: "I am truly honored to accept the award of Ms. Monogram 2008! I would like to thank everyone that I’ve worked with. How could I have done it without them! I couldn’t have! It would have been a disaster! Ha! Ha! I’d also like to thank all of the Monogram actors and actresses that have come before me for their inspiration… for their devotion and talent, and for showing that it doesn’t take tons of money to make an entertaining film. Finally, I want to thank all the folks at In The Balcony for keeping the Monogram legacy alive and for giving me this wonderful award. Here’s to you!"
