MOVIES - Linda Brent


I find there are very few photos of actress Linda Brent online.  Here she is in A Scream in the Dark (1943), a Republic picture, in which she has a significant tertiary role. She wears a couple of really nice dresses, of which this is the standout with its beaded or sequined bouquets.

And here she is in a mid-toned piece with floral ruffles that go all the way up the front and down the back, set off with a large brooch.  I love her wide heart-shaped face and big wartime hair, but find her extremely difficult to draw.  Most of her roles were small and uncredited - as an operator, show girl, chorus girl, etc.  I just like the looks of the gal and wish there had been more and better roles for her.
