Before she got into movies, Barbara Stanwyck spent a couple of years working as a Ziegfeld Follies showgirl. This photo looks like it is from this period, which would be 1922 and 1923. I wonder whether it’s by Alfred Cheney Johnston who was the main photographer for the Ziegfeld girls throughout the 1920s.

Yes, he was the photographer, there are more photos by him of Barbara that are nudes from this period …
Thanks Julie, I thought it looked like him. I’ll look out for the other Barbara Stanwyck photos 🙂
They were hotties
