I love this pic of Mary Beth. I think it dates from around 1949. She has a more mature look about herself than in earlier pics—I guess that happens after you have a kid and go through a divorce. But she has a very calm look about herself. I think she looks great.

In the '50s, MBH's look changed quite a bit. Her hair got much, much shorter and was usually styled very close to her head. It's not my favorite look for her—she has the kind of face that needs big hair. She also got thinner during the '50s, which I thought was sad. I'm sure she was just doing what was required by producers and directors.

Anyhoo, enjoy the pic and have a very Mary weekend! :D
