I know they came taller, but this is nothing to sneeze at.<BR/><BR/>I don't have a blog myself. Too lazy, I guess, but I do follow a few old movie blogs. I also adore crime and suspense, especially the 30's--not to mention silly things like The Saint & Charlie Chan series. <BR/><BR/>If I had a blog I would want it to be just like Heather's!

I like 1930s films too! Although I prefer "suspense" or "crime", in addition to anything with Cary Grant (naturally). Do you have a blog too? I'm not sure what you mean about the modest head though; I think she's still really pretty, although it's unusual that her hair is red. That's actually one of my favorite things about it though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-70968483369125936332009-01-24T22:48:00.000-05:002009-01-24T22:48:00.000-05:00Isn't it a gorgeous painting?

Talk about picking the right ensemble for a portrait!<BR/><BR/>Meghan- I thought it was so ironic when Lauren brought your question to my attention because I had the book open to the page with this quote on it so I could post it!<BR/><BR/>I believe that this painting was recently at auction and that is how I came upon it! I do love Olga's collection of Reynolds though!Heather Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544318718074061879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-32295691988005945832009-01-24T21:34:00.000-05:002009-01-24T21:34:00.000-05:00I agree--it's a lovely painting.
