“A Wall of directory illustrating the location of the women’s Star Studios. When this picture was taken in 1937, the name of recently deceased actress Jean Harlow had just been removed, and in fact is still poignantly visible on line A” 

Second picture is of the directory of the men’s Star Studio

pictures and captions come from the book MGM: Hollywood’s Greatest Backlot by Steven Bingen

how sad. (expecially if you think Luise Reyner is still alive)

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE SO MUCH SUBLIME IN ONE PHOTO?
L-R bottom row:Ingrid Bergman, Marlene Dietrich, (???) someone I should recognize but don’t
R-L top row:  Mah Boo Stanwyck (!!!), ?? someone I should recognize but don’t, Rosalind Russell

And the middle on the top row MAY be Susan Hayward. That would be my guess.

Isn’t that Joan there across the way too?! And maybe Shirley Temple next to her? Also I’m no expert but is that ~possibly Loretta Young behind the possible Susan Hayward? lol I love photos like this! XD

I love this photo and all the speculation into who the others are. I love that if that is Joanie, she is the only woman in a fur coat. Makes me laugh. Anyone know where this photo was taken? A polo match? 

Correct me if i’m wrong but i think it goes like thisfirst row: ingrid bergman, marlene dietrich, irene dunne.second row: rosalind russell, jean arthur, barbara stanwyck and those badass sunglasses, and Loretta Young in the back.in the back: i’m quite possitive that’s ginger rogers and then joan crawford and next to joan it’s Shirley.

I don’t think that that is Jean Arthur in the second row, but I agree with the rest.

Correct me if i’m wrong but i think it goes like this
first row: ingrid bergman, marlene dietrich, irene dunne.
second row: rosalind russell, jean arthur, barbara stanwyck and those badass sunglasses, and Loretta Young in the back.
in the back: i’m quite possitive that’s ginger rogers and then joan crawford and next to joan it’s Shirley.
