A BUTCH GAL THAT HAD STARS IN HER EYES.
FAN? STALKER? ESTHER'S LOVE FOR THE THEATRE IS DISPLAYED HERE AS WELL AS OTHER FLOTSAM FROM ESTHER'S PRIVATE WORLD, A GLIMPSE OF 1950s GAY LIFE.
I didn't know Esther well. She was a friend of friends. After she passed away, there was a box filled with snapshots she'd taken. Many were recognizable theatre celebs of long ago. Other photos were of her and others. Some photos had inscriptions on the reverse, which I've noted. Others had nothing. This box was destined for the trash bin. I saved it.

Someone must know this hot little number, who is she?
thanks bill! i'm finding betsy's birthdate as 1923. panama hattie opened in 1940, which would have made her 17. i'm now looking at a photo of betsy from "the snake pit" (1948). at first i thought uh-uh, but now i'm not sure.

This might be Besty Blair, who was a dancer in Panama Hattie and was also married to Gene Kelly.

Might also be Jane Pickens - see above photos.
anon: i think jane's face was wider than this girl's.
