At 140 she is five pounds heavier. She has hazel eyes and a dozen or so strands of gray in lush, dark-brown hair. Bess said she and her husband, attorney Arnold Grant, had just spent part of their holiday visiting Santa Barbara's HOLLYWOOD (AP) The good news for Meyerson watchers is that they'll be seeing and hearing more of the long-stemmed beauty. Bess Myerson, Miss America of 1945, was television commentator between scenes at ths Miss America pageant in Atlantic City last month, her third consecutive year in that role. Then she replaced Durward Kirby, as co-host of "A TV Show," Kirby having rejoined the returning Garry Moore.

Earlier, after a Denver benefit appearance, Bess had visited Colorado's Aspen Institute and heard 18 businessmen-philos-phers talk about Greek democracy In relation to today. Fascinated by what she calls such "think places," Miss Myerson has been equally serious-minded about her Miss America prestige. "You suddenly realize that fame equals responsibility and an audience and what do you do with it? It became meaningless to say hello to women's clubs.

I began speaking on things I believed strongly about." She makes speeches for the League for Seriously Disturbed Children, the National Conference of Christians and Jews and the Anti-Defamation League.

Ever since winning her Miss America crown, Bess said, "This pro bono publico" for the public good "has been an important part of my life." She doesn't tell her age, but news files make it 42. She let fans reckon it from the fact she had just been graduated from Hunter College when she became Miss America. Bess was born in New York where she received her B.A. in music from Hunter, studying to be a classical pianist, flutist and conductor. A for whom she modeled clothes entered her photo in the Miss New York City contest.

She won that the first beauty competition of her life and then the Miss America. With her $5,000 scholarship she continued music study at Columbia and Juilliard. She gave a piano recital at Carnegie Hall with the New York Philharmonic and for a while led an all-girl orchestra but gave up music when television beckoned.
