Beautiful Celebrity Photo
2/8/12 Update:
Thanks to everyone's help, we believe we have identified this woman as being Virginia Bruce. While Claudette Colbert was a possible match, the photo that Judy contributed ( http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=364619100215394&set=o.96457182807&type=1&theater ) shows a striking simil

The Mystery
Who is this celebrity? Do you know when this celebrity photo was likely taken?
It looks to be the early 1940's or perhaps 1930's. I asked Mom since she should know - she can't remember. But she looks like a familiar star of that time. Anyone have an idea?

It could be Claudette Colbert but I don't think the eyes are Marlene Dietrich...she had kind of bedroom eyes

I was just watching Oprah who had Shirley MacLaine on there, and Shirley flashed a picture of a dancer who looks like the photo. She was Vera Zorina. Google that name.

IDK, I think her eyebrows look too natural and short in length to be Claudette Colbert who wore hers a bit more exaggerated. If I can think or find anyone that it might be, I will let you know. :)

It's not Detrich, and I was for Colbert till I read Kathy's post..Detrich's face is narrower, Colbert has much more cheekbone..I'm for Bennett.

I added a photo of Joan Bennett and one of Constance Bennett to AncientFaces' Facebook page. The problem with this photo is her false eyelashes - they make her eyes look like they are slanted down and I don't think they are. It would help if we could hone in on the year - my guess would be late 30's to early 40's?

Virginia Bruce is a definite possibility - since Arba says this is mid 40's, I'm posting a photo of Virginia Bruce in 1948 on Facebook AF. See what you all think??

I found a picture of Virginia Bruce in a similar pose and I cut half of her head off and layered it over THIS image and it fit PERFECTLY! What do you think: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/imsomary/phototwo-1.jpg
