The woman on the left? Jane Withers? Josephine the Plumber? Foil to Shirley Temple? I know, I know the obvious one in the picture to notice is Nancy Reagan who in this photo was probably the first lady of California when Reagan was the governor. This doesn't look like a shot taken during the presidency, but then again what do I know?
Found at an antique store in the bottom of a drawer. So many people in one drawer with Nancy on the bottom completely tattered and lost. I saved her. No politics involved. Nancy with an ash tray and possible child star.
I always liked Jane Withers and it's because of her that I started collecting paper dolls, but that's a drawn out story involving the basement at a Broadway store in the valley and Roy Rogers. Long story.
I'll hope this is Jane. Whoever it is, Nancy had quite a grip on her. Political handshake. No limp fish there.

Great photo! I'm thinking she was probably hoping to shake Ron's hand, instead. :-)
ReplyDeleteShe does look a bit confused, doesn't she? If only I could read that name tag!
ReplyDeleteThat is some grip. Jane's hand is turning blue!
ReplyDeleteYes! Perhaps she's pleading with someone, "How do I get her to let go?"
ReplyDeleteThe Iron Lady! The American version, I mean.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
Just included this post in this month's History Is Ephemeral Carnival (you were in last month's too!)
ReplyDeleteWell, thank you. I'm afraid I wasn't aware of the blog. My online world is a bit small. I'll definitely trot on over and take a look see. Again, thank you.
