Detroit Actress?

**highjinx2** · July-29-12, 02:25 PM

Anyone know who this actress is, and if she was from Detroit?

**Jimaz** · July-29-12, 02:37 PM

A want to say Donna Reed but I doubt that's correct. Looks similar though.

**jcole** · July-29-12, 03:53 PM

I don't know who it is, but it's definitely not Donna Reed.
Where did you find the picture?

**highjinx2** · July-29-12, 05:13 PM

A friend supplied it to me.

**highjinx2** · July-29-12, 05:14 PM

I have no other info concerning this photo.

that looks like a young lucille ball...the top of her lip has the same shape.

Lucy's face isn't as square and she didn't have that beauty mark.

**Zacha341** · July-29-12, 08:55 PM

True, but I could see Lucille in that kind of outfit!

Got it.

She's Baby Lake from NYC.

I don't know if there's a Detroit connection yet.

oops, didn't look far enough down, or something. It was fun, tho

**DetroitPlanner** · July-29-12, 09:11 PM

Its a fem-bot!

**rb336** · July-29-12, 09:38 PM

she has the look of a Ziegfeld Girl of Lucy's era

**jcole** · July-29-12, 09:58 PM

it looks like something out of one of the 'Road' movies

**cla1945** · July-29-12, 10:24 PM

Not Donna Reed nor Lucille Ball, but definitely one of the Ziegeid Follies girls.

That hair, makeup style, costume....I'd say that was a number of years after the collapse of Flo Ziefeld.

Unless it's from the "Ziegfeld Follies" movie, but I couldn't find a still from that movie that looks like this.

i thought it was lucy at first glance. the beauty mark could have been "penciled" in.

**Brock7** · July-30-12, 08:06 AM

I don't think the Hayes code would permit that costume to appear in a movie. I'm thinking it must be from burlesque.

I was thinking the same thing, Brock, but the Hayes code started to be enforced in 1934 so it's conceivable that it could be before that.
I searched for burlesque costumes, strippers and harem costumes of all sorts, but I can't find any reference to a costume like this.

That's one of the craziest set of over the shoulder bolder holders I've ever seen.

i don't get it. What's the big deal about a guy covering his boob with a marijuana leaf?

**p69rrh51** · July-30-12, 04:01 PM

The only Detroit actress I could find that comes close is Joan Leslie, but I do not think the the image is of Joan. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0504125/
