I’m going to make a wild guess here since the shoe styles range from the 20s through about the 70s — is it Gypsy Rose Lee?
January 2nd, 2008 at 9:23 am
Ginger Rogers?
January 2nd, 2008 at 9:23 am
My guess, similarly wild…Mary Pickford?
January 2nd, 2008 at 9:33 am
Yet another wild guess–Mary Martin?
January 2nd, 2008 at 9:35 am
I’m thinking Leslie Caron because of the ballet shoes.
January 2nd, 2008 at 9:36 am
Jean Harlow????
January 2nd, 2008 at 9:47 am
Margot Fonteyn?
January 2nd, 2008 at 9:56 am
Moira Shearer?
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:04 am
Ruby Keeler?
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:04 am
Garbo, perhaps. Or Bette Davis.
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:07 am
or perhaps Eleanor Powell?
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:09 am
Jane Russell?
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:13 am
There are lots of costumes in there. I suspect it is Olivia de Havilland.
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:13 am
Rita Hayworth.
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:14 am
Isadora Duncan?
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:16 am
or Marlene Dietrich
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:25 am
Debbie Reynolds?
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:31 am
Lucille Ball?
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:33 am
The best shoes in “whose shoes” ever! (Doesn’t help me know the answer, though. I’d have guessed Ruby Keeler if not for the ballet shoes.)
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:37 am
Cyd Charisse. Right age and started as a ballet dancer
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:40 am
Joan Crawford? I seem to recall she was a pretty gifted dancer, among other things.
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:40 am
I think it might be Louise Brooks, although it could definitely be another early film star like Clara Bow.
January 2nd, 2008 at 11:16 am
Katharine Hepburn
January 2nd, 2008 at 11:20 am
Ethel Merman?
January 2nd, 2008 at 11:32 am
Betty Grable?
January 2nd, 2008 at 11:38 am
Someone whose career peaked in the 1930s. Someone who was in light comedy, musicals.
So Ruby Keeler a strong candidate but is she famous enough now for enough people to have a sporting chance of a guess? Jean Harlow died too soon, possibly Ginger Rogers but not enough dance shoes?
January 2nd, 2008 at 11:38 am
Ginger Rogers?? (just another wild guess)
January 2nd, 2008 at 11:43 am
I have no idea. Claudette Colbert?
January 2nd, 2008 at 11:52 am
Shirley MacClaine?
January 2nd, 2008 at 11:58 am
Hmmm…Theda Bara?
January 2nd, 2008 at 12:12 pm
I’m thinking Joan Crawford.
January 2nd, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Marilyn Monroe?
January 2nd, 2008 at 2:00 pm
Another try - Mitzi Gaynor? Like Lucy, she was also a dancer.
January 2nd, 2008 at 3:02 pm
Lauren Bacall?
January 2nd, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Judy Garland?
January 2nd, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Eleanor Powell.
January 2nd, 2008 at 3:33 pm
June Allyson.
January 2nd, 2008 at 4:30 pm
I know, Ingrid Bergman!
January 2nd, 2008 at 4:40 pm
I’ll go with Ginger Rogers too, but I really have no clue.
January 2nd, 2008 at 5:30 pm
How about Barbara Stanwyck?
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:29 pm
I think it’s Cyd Charisse. Lovely, lovely pictures!
January 2nd, 2008 at 7:12 pm
Gloria Swanson
January 2nd, 2008 at 7:13 pm
Oops, I’m not anonymous!
January 2nd, 2008 at 9:10 pm
The shoes look like 30s and 40s and suggest musicals. Legs are too short for Cyd Charisse and Eleanor Powell.
Alice Faye?
January 2nd, 2008 at 9:40 pm
All I know is, those are NOT Cyd Charisse’s legs.
