Manhattan plastic surgeon, Dr. Ran I. Rubinstein specializes in New York eyelid surgery.
Is is the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy?
Umm….Eleanor Roosevelt? I have no idea.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Why, the Wicked Witch of the East (or is it West) just before the house fell on her. I think those ankles are too slim for Eleanor Roosevelt.
Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor ?
Margaret Sanger?
Coco Chanel?
Totally Coco Chanel
I’m voting for Coco Chanel, too. And is it wrong of me to say that I love them? I like an old-fashioned superfantastic girl.
Oh, the Annalucia loves them too – especially the second and third pictures in the top row.
But would the Coco ever wear the shoes shown in the bottom row, second picture? The sneakers and the floral hem suggest the elderly grandmother at a summer picnic. And the third photo in the second row – sneakers on skinny bare legs – no, that cannot be Coco. On the other hand the Hyannisport Kennedys are famously sporty and athletic, which is why the Annalucia guesses it is Mama Rose.
I’m going to go out on a crazy limb and say Grace Kelly.
Claudette Colbert?
Katherine Hepburn…..
I submit my guess: Bette Davis
I hope two guesses is not considered cheating: second guess: Vivien Leigh
It might be worth mentioning that judging by the skirt lengths most of these pictures appear to have been taken between WWI and the 1930s
The Queen Mother?
I’m thinking Wallis Simpson
Ms. Wallis, I believe. In addition to being tall, I think Eleanor had largish feet. Also, I can’t imagine her being seen in a long flowered calico looking skirt, ever.
Some of the shoes look to be from the teens. If they weren’t so… sensible I’d say Mary Pickford or Lillian Gish, but I’m going with Eleanor Roosevelt too.
Gloria Swanson.
We didn’t need dialogue. We had feets!
My first thought was the Queen Mother.
La BellaDonna, although still leaning toward St. Margaret Sanger, is willing to support those who opted for the Queen Mother. The shoes, they have that “between the Wars” look. And although La BellaDonna is not especially interested in the Keds (good shoes in their own way), she would be first in line to buy the others.
Designers, hear my cry! Give us shoes like these, and not your silly sports memorabilia shoes!! They are not the too high, they are not the too flat, they are shoes for the lifetime!
Oh Manolo you like to keep us on our toes. I don’t have a clue on this one. I’m thinking an actress, based on the informal “feet tucked under body” pose. The Queen Mother or Royalty would never do that.
But the long long skirt – she looks like a suffragette…
And the satin dress with matching shoes – she was a fashion icon in her hey-day…
And the sensible white lace-ups with floral skirt – she lived to a ripe old age…
Oh please put us out of our misery!
How about Helen Keller?
Gotta be Eleanor Roosevelt… gotta be
Are they Eleanor Roosevelt’s shoes?
“Designers, hear my cry! Give us shoes like these, and not your silly sports memorabilia shoes!! ”
Yes! Yes! One thousand times, the yes!
And when they come available the Annalucia will buy the two pair from the first row, two pair from the second – that is, the first and the fourth – and even the pair in the last picture of all, though she will probably wear those with the dressy trousers.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Queen Elizabeth?
Maybe Clara Bow? :)
My first reaction was Coco Chanel, too.
Coco for sure
Eleanor Roosevelt. What pretty ankles she had.
I’m thinking the Queen Mum
….out on a limb here…Judy Garland?
Nope….It’s not Judy Garland…but I know who it is now…
