Lauren Bacall in a publicity photo from the 1950s I would guess. Isn’t she stunning? I’m not sure when this was taken or for which movie, but I’m guessing she’s in her early 20s in this picture. When I compare her with myself in my early 20s she’s astonishingly sophisticated *sigh*

She was 19 going on 20 when she made To Have and Have Not in 1944 … Very mature! Look at Liz Taylor’s pictures when she was 15 or 16, girls seemed to want to be grown up much earlier back then …
I could only dream of looking that grown up at 15! The stars certainly did look very grown up for their age then
Young women did often look incredibly chic and sophisticated in the ’50s – maybe the black and white photography helps! I love Bacall’s style, particularly her boyish yet cute looks – gorgeous.
