Do you recognize her? Leave your answers in the comments. I’ll drop hints if necessary.

9:42 a.m.: That was fast. The answer is now in the comments. I think I have some of the most eagle-eyed readers in the world.

More mystery actors (Collect them all!)

Ginger Rogers

That’s her, though I never would have guessed it. This image is from Tight Spot (dir. Phil Karlson, 1955), in which Rogers plays Sherry Conley, a prison inmate released and hidden away in a hotel room before testifying against a mob boss. Good movie.

My first thought was Eve Arden, but GR's eyes and mouth gave it away.

Wow, I'm impressed Crow got it!
Ginger Rogers is one of those actresses I never recognize--(Naomi Watts is another)--they have such basic faces without strong features.
I only recognize Rogers when she's with Astaire!

“I only recognize Rogers when she's with Astaire!”

Same. That’s why I thought this would be a tough one. But no.
