"Noontime rest for a full-fledged assembly worker at the Long Beach, Calif., plant of Douglas Aircraft Company." October 1942. View full size. 4x5 Kodachrome transparency by Alfred Palmer for the Office of War Information.
Yes, looks a lot like Sandra Bullock's mom.
Looks like Kate Beckinsale in Pearl Harbor...
It appears there *were* pretty girls back then. I guess they just stayed out of the beach beauties contests...
Self-explanatory, but true.
She looks like a young Sandra Bullock
She has a tear on her sleeve, her button holes are worn
but she dressed up her outfit with the brooch, she must have had class, she was beautiful, I bet some G.I. had her picture on him in the war.
[That was dirt on the transparency, not a rip in her sleeve. Now gone. - Dave]
Beautiful young woman, and if she's still alive today, she's in her 80's, wrinkled and old. Wonder what happened during those in-between decades.
is that a pencil in her ear?
