Mrs. Kentucky? Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely husband, Bluegrass folks singing
c. 1979 N.Y. Times News Service LOUISVILLE, Ky. - It’s been called “the kissing campaign,” and it’s easy to see why. John Y. Brown Jr., Kentucky’s Democratic candidate for governor, and his wife of seven months, Phyllis George, constantly hug and kiss like newlyweds on the campaign trail. And everybody in Kentucky, it seems, wants to kiss the former Miss America turned television personality. “Oh, Phyllis, Phyllis, please kiss my husband, please!” a plump young woman asked the candidate’s wife during a recent campaign stop at the Harvest Festival in Crestwood, Ky. The 30-year-old Mrs. Brown smilingly obliged, then continued making her way through the crowd, signing autographs and kissing (and being kissed by) everyone from babies to senior citizens. At times like this, her handsome, 45-year-old husband, who parlayed Colonel Sanders’s Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe into an estimated $35 million personal fortune, is likely to say something self-deprecating to the crowd like, “I’ve been walking behind her ever since we met,” or “Doesn’t anyone want my autograph?” Phyllis George Brown, as she began calling herself after a crusty mountaineer pointed out that Kentucky women use their husbands’ last names, candidly admits that one of her main values to the campaign has been to draw crowds. “They used to call me Flypaper Phyllis,” she said with her familiar, everpresent smile as her campaign car sped back to Louisville. “But what was John supposed to do, hide me in the closet? I am his wife, and I have the right to be beside him.” The John and Phyllis Show, as some Kentuckians call it, seems to have taken the Bluegrass State by storm. Recent polls showed Brown well ahead of his Republican opponent in the Nov. 6 election, former Gov. Louie B. Nunn, and many Kentuckians seem to relish the idea of having a glamorous political couple in the style of neighboring Gov. Jay and Sharon Rockefeller of West Virginia, and Sen. John and Elizabeth Taylor Warner of Virginia. Commenting on Mrs. Brown’s importance to the campaign, Robert Cobb, the Brown campaign coordinator, said he thought that “John Y.,” as the candidate is known here, would not have won the crowded Democratic primary last May 29 without his wife’s help on the campaign trail. Almost every day since Brown entered the gubernatorial race shortly after the couple’s St. Patrick’s Day wedding, his wife has been at his side, sitting in on his strategy sessions and flying across the state with him, her huge pearshaped diamond engagement ring glittering in the sun. Invariably, she would introduce her husband at a campaign stop, adding an aside intended to blunt any suspicions that she was a “carpetbagger.” In Crestwood, she told the crowd, “I’m from Texas, and lived there for 21 years, and never thought I could live anywhere else.” Long pause. “But this is my old Kentucky home.” Other Kentuckians have been criticial of the Browns’ hugging and kissing, which seems to become more pronounced whenever cameras are aimed at them. Beula Nunn, 65, the wife of the Republican candidate, said in a recent inteview that she didn’t plan to bite her husband’s ear in public during the campaign. When asked about the criticism that she and her husband were overly affectionate in public,

PHYLLIS GEORGE BROWN Right beside her man
Mrs. Brown said: “That’s tough. I just hope maybe some of it will rub off on other people, and they will be as full of love as we are.” The Browns first met two years ago at a professional football playoff game in Minneapolis, where they were introduced by the odds maker Jimmy (the Greek) Snyder. As the story goes, Brown had been wanting to meet Miss George ever since the night his divorce from his first wife, Elbe, who ran his unsuccessful Kentucky Colonels basketball team, became final, and he caught a glimpse of Miss George on television. He supposedly told a friend at the time, “I think I’ll go out with her.” Miss George, however, was married soon after to Robert Evans, the Hollywood movie producer. Then last November, after her 11month marriage had broken up, Miss George ran into Brown at a Hollywood party. He proposed two months later. Mrs. Brown said that if she becomes First Lady of Kentucky, her major projects will be working with retarded and handicapped children (she is honorary Kentucky chairman of the Special Olympics for the handicapped), and on women’s issues. Both she and her husband support the equal rights amendment, which has been rescinded by the Kentucky legislature. And although both are personally opposed to abortion, they say it is up to the general assembly to decide the issue. Does Mrs. Brown plan to continue her show business career? “Yes,” she replied, as she sat in her office in the Louisville campaign headquarters, “but I’m so happily married, I don’t want to be away from John that much. I also want to start a family. But I do have two years left to go on a contract with CBS, and I’m obligated to them.” She said she also plans to do a motivational book for young women for Simon & Schuster, about how a girl from the small town of Denton, Tex., grew up to become Miss America, then the first successful female sportscaster, and, perhaps, the First Lady of Kentucky. “John wants me to do all these things,” she said, “and you can’t expect a person like me who’s been an achiever to stay in the background. They used to say, ‘Behind every strong man there’s a strong woman.’ Well, I like to say, ‘Beside every strong man there’s a strong woman.’ ”
