Not the usual (recent) fare for this humble site, but I spotted this picture on my twitter stream (I’m @EroticMadSci for those of you who didn’t already know) and sort of fell in love. It’s captioned “Janet Lee, the MGM girl with mechanical aptitude.” Sadly I’ve been unable to find out much more about her. The picture ran on Cory Doctorow’s twitter @doctorow:

In turn it tracks back to the tumblr inthedarktrees.
Possibly because the last name is misspelled. It looks to me like the pics are of Janet Leigh, from early in or possibly before the start of her career; for evidence, I submit this early shot known to be of Janet Leigh. https://www.thefamouspeople.com/profiles/images/janet-leigh-3.jpg
Pardon me, looks like I left out important bits. The images I find with a Google search for “Janet Lee MGM” all appear to be of Janet Leigh, who does look astoundingly like the girl in the pic here. Mea culpa.
