Stewardess on the flight to Hawaii...isn't that.....
....a very young Angie Dickenson?? Looks and sounds just like her.
shareI don't think so. Odd that IMDB doesn't list who the actress was.

No, it's definitely not Angie.
By the way, I just added a goof to the list of goofs in this film. When the stewardess is pointing out islands on the right and left of the plane, she gets them reversed: Molokai is on the right, and Oahu is on the left. Otherwise the plane would have to be flying backwards.
pt100,
I respectfully disagree with your directions. Having lived in Hawaii for over 15 years, I flew into HNL many times, some before the reef runway was installed.
As you approach the islands from the North going South of the airport, you fly between Diamond Head and Molokai. DH is on the right and Molokai and Maui on the left. DH would pass on the right and pan left to right, NOT right to left as was shown in the movie. Water would be in the foreground as you look at DH.
(If I were to guess, the filming of DH moving right to left would be what you see as you're leaving the islands going back to the mainland. DH would be on the left and Molokai on the right.)
If they were to approach from North of the islands and fly over Kailua or Kaneohe, you wouldn't see Molokai or Maui and wouldn't see DH until after crossing the Koholaus. The view would be looking at DH with Honolulu in the foreground.
She got her first bit part in a Warner Brothers film in 1954 and gained fame in the television series The Millionaire (1955) and got her first good film role opposite John Wayne and Dean Martin in Rio Bravo (1959). Her success then spiraled until she became one of the nation's top movie.
Two years after this movie.
