The girl in the center has the same initials as I do. What are the odds?
I wonder if any of them became stars, and if any are remembered in our time. No. 8 looks so familiar.
So, ah... who is the woman first on the right? I'd like to find out more about her. My niece is big into 20's flapper types and women from that era, so I'll email a link to this pic.
I have to believe the camera caught the Miss third from our left at a bad moment. And I don't believe fourth from our left should abandon hope at all. She reminds me of a younger Margaret Dumont, though. My pick would be probably be the girl on our far left. I hope they all had fulfilling lives.
Fourth from the left needs to abandon all hope.
The third from the left looks quite sad and I think her rouge must be making the shadows on her cheeks--but her face has a lot of character. The first on the right made it, as we know. The second from left has a kind of Betty Boop/Clara Bow quality that is very lively.
