About Me
- PJM
- I grew up in West Texas, and could not wait to get away. I got away, and went to the University of Texas, and then on to Stanford. I saw the world, and decided what I really wanted was to be in West Texas. So here I am, right back where I started. I had it all, and found it was not that great.

I have not idea who she is, but I love this photo. It looks like a portrait photo, but the pose is atypical for a portrait. She shows mucho moxie.

From my first look this A.M. I thought: an old time actress doing Charlotte Corday, the French assassin of Marat. That's why I speculated on Bernhardt (incorrectly). One last stab: is it the first actress (1914) to play Corday in the movies: Constance Crawley?
ReplyDeleteJim,
ReplyDeleteNot correct.

ReplyDeleteIts 8:00 AM, Contest is Closed,
ReplyDeleteI WIN!!!!!!
The person is Annie Russell (1884-1936), actress who played in the play Mice and Men
This was a tough one! If you Google Annie Russell you will find many pictures of her, all more flattering than this one.
ReplyDeleteThere is always next week.....
ARGHHHHH!!!
ReplyDeleteI spent HOURS yesterday looking at photos and bios of Victorian and Edwardian actresses, and her name NEVER came up.
My husband kept asking me what I was doing. He thinks I have an online boyfriend.
Haha
Ah, "SmartGirl 1953" I feel your pain! For several contests I had the same experience of spending a lot of time without success. A couple of weeks ago I found my solution: When the mystery photo is a formal portrait without contemporary context other than the person's clothing, I close my browser, step away from the computer, and then check back the next day or so. My Saturdays (and mental health) have been far more productive since then!
