I found two more vintage photographs among my own things. The first is of mom and the actor Paul Henreid (NOW, VOYAGER and CASABLANCA, 1942, among many others). The photo is dated 1943; and though he looks like he's dressed as a pirate, researching his filmography, he doesn't appear to have been in a pirate film in 1943.
The second, a professional portrait, is stamped on back with the following: "Jan 1946, Photo by Jack Barsby, 4358 Laurel Canyon Blvd., Studio City, Phone SU. 2-2600." A quick google of Jack Barsby reveals a web page that is titled "Vintage Ladies; vintage nudes, pinups & other beauties." The primary photograph of a nude woman is by Jack Barsby. Another google entry lists a photo of a Ballerina entitled "Ballet", which was a 1944 Brooklyn Museum exhibit. On the back of that photo is the same stamp of the photographer and studio listed on the back of mom's photograph two years later. I can only speculate that mom had the picture taken to advance a potential movie career, but I cannot be certain.
