This is Carole Lombard as she appeared in the 1929 Pathé movie, “High Voltage.” I always loved her hair in this photo, so modern even today, and the photo, the lighting, everything.

The photo is from the 1972 coffee table book “The Image Makers: 60 years of Hollywood Glamour” by Richard Lawton and Paul Trent, published by McGraw Hill and available on Amazon.com/ I loved the photos in this great book, which influenced me – and my photographers – over the years.
