  3. Hi Michael,
    Thanks very much for this info which confirms these are the actresses in the photographs. I didn't doubt the Brooks, but was unsure of the Shearer and Bankhead.
    Now if I get only get confirmation of the Crawford.

  5. Definitely Joan Blondell. She did some nude shots in the late 40's for the money. Why she is strolling in front of the crew, I don't know.
