Ann Strikes a Pose as Cesca Camonte

Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 161

Yesterday, I mentioned that I had started rescanning some of the photos that have been posted on this site for over ten years. I dove in with Scarface, and was amazed by how many cool portraits I have of Ann as Cesca Camonte. This was Ann’s first big role and looks striking with teased up hair and 5 feet of make-up piled on her face. She never looked quite this way again which is why these photos are some of my favorites.

So, here’s a little gallery of Cesca, along with a couple of Ann’s mentor Karen Morley as “Poppy.”
