Jessica Tandy, c1940

And she founded Radio Shack!

@XYLENE lol

The costume looks vaguely Shakespearean.... Broadway credits don't list anything for '43. A few years later she originated Blanche in Streetcar Named Desire.

@fredfred did some more research and there's conflicting dates and photographers but Getty website says c1940, corrected now

She was in a play about Queen Anne (1700 ish) in 1941 so it could be that costume.

@fredfred yeah that could work
