Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 152

Here are the last two photos I submitted for the book cover that were not chosen. These are two of my favorite photos of Ann. The first one which is behind the scenes of College Coach is so unusual that it’s really interesting. Her eyebrows had been dramatically shaped for her role as a gypsy in The Way to Love which makes her look even more intense in this image. Her position next to the faceless woman holding a script is also intriguing. Perhaps Ann is looking so serious because she realized what a lousy role she had been cast in.

This next one is just simply gorgeous. It’s the only photo that I have ever seen from this sitting and I think it perfectly captures Ann at the time. I would have also been very happy had this one been chosen.
