Ann Blyth takes a couple of charming publicity photos at the beach. From my book on her career, Ann Blyth: Actress. Singer. Star.:
Ann Blyth was a teenager from 1941 to 1948. To spend most of
one’s teen years during World War II was the defining experience of her
generation. To one blossoming in her
career while at the same time coming of age, this era must have been
an added adventure and source of excitement, and anxiety. She did not
know the tragedy of war firsthand, but she knew tragedy... At the height of her achievements as a child actress, the world
spiraled to its worst years of horror. It was not the best of timing,
perhaps, but the strange crisscrossed trajectory would lead her to fame as
a movie star before she turned twenty years old in seven years’ time.
