The more Glenda, the merrier.

In continued celebration of the lovely Glenda Farrell's birthday (June 30), what better time to share more wonderful portraits?


Promotional portrait for The Secret Bride (the snipe refers to the working title of Concealment).

Swathed in stripes. Portrait by Elmer Fryer.

"Glenda Farrell, star of the films, is shown here in her latest gown for formal evening wear. It is a tuxedo suit of claret colored satin. Her tailored blouse is flesh marquisette with tiny pleated cuffs and a bow tie at the neckline. Her poke bonnet hat has a starched veil of the same shade as her suit."

"Glenda's Weakness is Black and White. Glenda Farrell, star of the shadow drama, can't resist costumes which feature the ever popular black and white motif, and in this one she found a really unique adaptation of the blending. Her dress is of black woolen cloth and the lapels, hat and high gauntlet gloves are of leather."

Promotional portrait for The Keyhole. A fantastic animal print combination that looks...
...quite familiar! Still from The Mystery of the Wax Museum.
