Joan Collins
A publicity still from "The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing" showing her in the role of Evelyn Nesbit, who swung with Architect Stanford White, leading to the latter's demise. The film is definitely worth a watch.
From the Tumblr blog of Creeping Irrelevance. It was orignally posted by Simply Sassy (Retro Girly).
