Hi all--
One of our members from France, Georges (who posts here as
Sterling) asked us to take a look at a photo of an actress who looks very familiar to me, though I can't quite place her. I'll be posting this on Facebook too to help with the search. Could anyone else please help name the lady? Thanks in advance for any tries.

She kind of reminds me of Frances Rafferty, but I don't think that's the one. Hmmm.

Good guess, PT. So far the suggestions for an identity from the Facebook page include a brunette Eve Arden and Ginny Sims, but not quite. Any other guesses?
Frances Rafferty
Ginny Sims
Eve Arden with darker hair

Reminds me a little of Rosalind Russell circa His Girl Friday.

Me, too, Charlie! So far we haven't nailed this one, though I can see all the similarities in her face. I just keep thinking we
know this lady from somewhere, but just can't quite place her.

Hi,
When I first spotted this picture and before I read the post, I thought it was Lucille Bremmer.....
But, now I really don't know.

It looks like she is wearing a robe and in a communications room.
Perhaps either an espionage or World War II drama where she is using the radio on the sly?

She looks a bit like a cross between Joy Page and Gale Sondergaard.

Georges, I think you may have it at last!!
Marjorie Weaver was in the 13 part serial,
The Great Alaskan Mystery (1944) and I believe the image you asked about may be her in that film. Here she is with Lloyd Nolan in
Just Off Broadway (1942) that offers a good comparison:
Original Image:
What do you guys think?

hello, Moira
I went to see some videos of Alskan Mysteries, and the similitude is very close, and she is once in front of a radio engine!!! with clothes very near to the style of the pic, so it could have bee a promotionnal picture for the series. I think very luckyl ,having thought about her, and it shouls really be her
what are people think here??
best, Georges
