Barbara Stanwyck in Breakfast for Two, 1937.
(Barbara Stanwyck, best known for her steamy roles in such films as Stella Dallas (1937) and Double Indemnity (1944), also had a booming television career in the 1960s and 1970s. Stanwyck married twice, the first time to vaudevillian Frank Fay and the second time to Robert Taylor. Although she rebuffed any questions about her sexuality or her marriages, many observers of the Hollywood scene believed that neither Stanwyck nor either of her husbands were heterosexual. Stanwyck was rumored to have been a member of the Hollywood Sewing Circles, that included Garbo, Dietrich and Bankhead.)

I am a bit obsessed with this awesome picture. It’s Hilda Simms, Langston Hughes (bottom right) and actor Canada Lee (center in white shirt) at a party with other artists around 1944. I recognize the women on the left - but I am drawing a blank on their names so, if you know, please let me know in the comment section.
