COVER GIRL: This daisy-ringed pretty of 17 didn't win a dance contest, work in a drug store or knuckle under to the discipline of a Drahma Academy to become an up- and-coming young movie actress. Mona Freeman simply went to Pelham School, modeled off and on for John Powers, and presto was cast as the ingenue lead in 'Til We Meet Again. We agree with the theory of James Snyder, who took her picture, that her fresh, pretty face is her fortune.
