Career
She would later marry and divorce American television executive Roone Arledge. Fowler was chosen as Alabama"s Junior Mission for 1966. In 1967, she was named first runner-up to Mission Alabama 1967, Becky Alford.
Entering the 1969 Mission Alabama pageant as one of 50 contestants and 24 finalists, Fowler"s preliminary competition talent for Mission Alabama was singing "Promises, Promises" and "I"ll Never Fall in Love Again".
The final round talent portion of the program was dropped due to the length of Ahead to the Stars, a musical drama honoring Alabama"s sesquicentennial and presented as part of the evening"s entertainment. As Mission Alabama, her activities included public appearances across the state of Alabama, riding the Alabama float in the inaugural parade for President Richard Nixon, and an August 1970 United Service Organizations tour visiting the troops in South Vietnam.
The United States Marine Corps commemorated her Vietnam trip by putting her on the December 1970 cover of Leatherneck, "Magazine of the Marines". Her competition talent was signing "Matchmaker, Matchmaker" from the musical Fiddler on the Roof.
Fowler was not one of the finalists for the title.
Her reign as Mission Alabama continued until Suzanne Dennie was crowned on June 27, 1970.
