The Style & Elegance of Ann Dvorak

Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 74

In honor of Housewife being shown on TCM today, here is a shot of Ann posing in a gorgeous Orry-Kelly gown.

At some point, an entry for Ann in a film encyclopedia described her as being “know for her style and elegance,” a phrase that has since been used on countless web pages. For some reason, Ann’s character Nan Reynolds in Housewife is the role that stands out for me as embodying style and elegance, especially in this photo.

Hope you’re able to catch the movie! If not, the Warner Archive will hook you up.
