Arlene Howell (born October 25, 1935) was an American television actress who held the Miss USA 1958 title.
Howell became the first of three Miss Louisiana USA titleholders to win the Miss USA crown when she won the Miss USA 1958 pageant held in Long Beach, California in July 1958. That same week she competed in the Miss Universe pageant and placed 3rd runner-up.
Her most well-known recurring acting roles were as Cindy Lou Brown opposite Jack Kelly in Maverick and as secretary Melody Lee Mercer in the 1959 detective series Bourbon Street Beat with Andrew Duggan, Richard Long, and Van Williams. Howell also appeared in the Maverick episode "Island in the Swamp" with James Garner and Edgar Buchanan as well as in 77 Sunset Strip, Bronco, Alcoa Premiere (in "Whatever Happened to Miss Illinois?"), and as "Flora" in an unusually memorable episode of Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. in 1966, in which Gomer paired her off with a dumbfounded Sergeant Carter (Frank Sutton)[1].
