How about a nice pic, with no particular back-story?
This would be that photo, as promised.
The 3rd, of three. Sorry, there just wasn't the room I thought there would be
A three-fer, in the hot sun?
All the of these photos popped up about the same time, with what looks like all the gals wearing their same outfits in each photo, but just shuffled around to the Photographers whim. I'll let the backside of each photo tell the tale.... I just don't have enough time today to do otherwise.... Seriously, I have to be in bed in an hour.
Uncle Jed, a few years before his casting in "The Wizard of Oz"
Yeah, I know it's Buddy Ebsen (born Christian Ludolf Ebsen, April 02, 1908) but what I don't know for sure is if this is from "Broadway Melody of 1936" or "Born to Dance" or "Broadway Melody of 1938".... it seems Barnaby, err, Buddy and Bonnie (Nana) were in all three.
In any event, it's a nice pic of hoofer Buddy Ebsen a few years before he nearly died while doing testing for the silver makeup application as the Tin Woodsman in the Judy Garland film, The Wizard of Oz. I make that distinction as there was a silent version of the film as well.
But we all knew that already.

Happy 107th, Nana, I'm actually a few hours early this time. I should have led with this one
So this great photo popped up a few months back, and if the script at the bottom can be believed (and I believe it) it's from the Eddie Cantor film "Kid Millions".
I uploaded this on my personal Facebook page in honor of her birthday, and a few pals think it might be actor George Murphy, who was in the film as well.
You be the judge on that one.
