Ann Dvorak was never one to rest on her laurels. When she wasn’t making films or reporting her employer to the ASPCA, she was practicing bacteriology, selling flowers from her greenhouse to the local florists, or making hats. That’s right, the Divine Miss D designed and made her own hats. In fact, in Ann’s first freelance film She’s No Lady, the actress was permitted to wear her own personally designed headgear.

Here’s a shot of Ann, Hedy Lamarr, and Anne Baxter engaged in a very serious conversation at the Walter Florell hat show in January 1946.
