1939. The bamboo screen and prop give it away – this is a publicity shot for Lady of the Tropics, Hedy Lamarr’s disappointing follow-up movie after Algiers. She does look moodily elegant as she stares heavenward in an evening gown more than a little reminiscent of one she wears in I Take This Woman. A caption on the back of the photo reads:
GLAMOROUS HEDY LAMARR…Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s newest star, whose next picture will be “A Lady of the Tropics.”
