Found image. I love this photograph. What a lovely outfit probably made by her mother. And what a lovely smile. If this was for a fancy dress event or carnival I hope she won a prize.

There seems to be a rather sad tradition among movie queens whose reign of public popularity spans decades within the Hollywood limelight to manage to make one last film just before they either die or retire from their adoring fans, a film that none of them should have made in the first place.
