I know exactly who those people are. The three on the viewer left are Hollywood Madame Tussaud's (-10 for spelling, probably) Wax Museum figures of Liza Minelli and the wierd guy she married and Sting or Prince without his moustache and the real woman with them is Mickey Rooney's greataunt, Elisabeth Tailer. I saw them in National Velvet. What a great name for E. in that film, Velvet Brown! My older sister, who at the time had a triangular Deanna Durbin/Kathryn Grayson/Esther Williams fetisch, poohpoohed E. by saying, "Hmmph! She's just a little girl! Why she doesn't even pluck the middle of her unibrow yet!" What my older sister didn't catch, was the aching thickness of voice in E.'s throat. However meant, it came off as a kind of sweetly hungry suppressed pubescent lust. And the dairyaire in those jodphurs..holy cow! Every time E. walked away from the camera there were lap newspapers rattling all over the Bijou. And mind, she wasn't even 13 yet.
