Life Is but a Dream: 1941
February 1941. Singing and music for agricultural workers' children in a new day nursery for the Okeechobee migratory labor camp at Belle Glade, Florida. Medium-format safety negative by Marion Post Wolcott. View full size.
Precious faces
There are so many precious little faces in this! I did a search on the Okeechobee migratory camp and found another picture of what I think are the same children, taken the same day.

Perhaps she ended up on the stage or screen!
