Mystery actor

[Click for a larger view.]

That’s not Ida Lupino. So, then, who?

Leave your guesses in the comments. I’ll drop a hint if appropriate.

Susan Hayward?

Yes, as Millie Pickens in Among the Living (dir. Stuart Heisler, 1941.) Good catch!

just saw this post and as soon as i saw the photo "susan hayward" immediately came to mind! albeit a little late but i didn't peek!! of course, i had to go look her up and didn't realize that she died rather young of brain cancer. looking at her movies, i would say they really weren't mainstream popular ones.

Do you know what movie you recognize her from? I know Smash-Up and I’ll Cry Tomorrow. I knew she was in this one from the credits (duh!), but it was one of those “Oh, that’s _______” moments.

I go on the honor system, so I believe you, Kirsten, when you say you didn’t peek. :)
