This photograph was taken in 1942, and shows a young woman with a suitcase standing on the street in Hollywood California. I don't have any other information on the picture. I wonder though if it might be a girl from Kansas who took a bus to California in hopes of becoming a movie star. Just my imagination at work probably.

I think the photograph was set up to make you think exactly that. To me, at any rate, everything looks in such apple-pie order - uncrumpled clothes and shiny new suitcase - that I can't see how the photo wasn't staged.
ReplyDeleteOn reflection, I suppose it's also possible that she's heading out of LA.
If that now 87-year-old woman is reading this blog,I would request that she contact the owner to settle this dispute. What exactly were you up to that day?
I agree with anonymous above. It must be a staged photo. You can even see "the bus" in the reflection of the store window.
ReplyDeleteI can tell you that the bus reflected in the window glass was a 1934 Yellow Coach Model 718 operating for the Los Angeles Motor Coach Company.
