Danny Thomas and Marjorie Lord in 1957 rehearsing a scene for their TV show. Blurry photo by Robert Vose for the Look magazine article "Danny Thomas: He Has a Wonderful World All of His Own." View full size.
I'm having a time trying to figure out how that lower shelf/drawer/thing is attached to the table on the right. It looks like the left front leg is going through the shelf, while the left rear leg is going behind it? And the shelf doesn't extend all the way to the right, and is resting on the crossbeams? And it has a "well" midway where you can store magazines? Strange.
I believe the lady pictured here is Jean Hagen, who played Danny's wife for the first three seasons, prior to Marjorie Lord.
I loved the episodes when Uncle Tonoose would come to visit. As we all know, he was a descendent of King Achmed the Unwashed
for someone to say, "I think that is Jean Hagen."
Sorry - that is Jean Hagen, NOT Marjorie Lord, in the picture. Jean played Danny's first wife, Margaret. After the third season, Jean left the series. Fourth season began with news of Margaret's death - by the end of season 4, Danny fell in love with Kathy O'Hara (Marjorie Lord), who was son Danny's nurse. At the end of the season, Danny proposed to Kathy, and the two were married in Season 5.
I believe that is Jean Hagen with Danny, not Marjorie Lord. Jean was Lina Lamont in Singin' In the Rain, of course. One of the funniest movie characters of all time.
Just focussed on the background instead of the subjects. Wonder why Look used it.
Jean Hagen left the show in 1956, but the woman pictured here looks like Jean, not Marjorie Lord.
