\"Jericho7\"<\/p>\n

I’ve been collecting Ann Dvorak memorabilia for almost sixteen years, so it’s now rare that I’ll come across something spectacular that I do not already own. Sure, the occasional scene still will pop up that I don’t have, so I’ll grab it if the price is right. However, I seldom have the opportunity to purchase a piece that really blows me away, so I was thrilled to add this photo to the collection this week. The image shows Ann and Kirk Douglas in 1948 having lunch in the 20th Century-Fox Commissary during production of the Walls of Jericho.<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong>I love this photo because it’s not taken directly on the set of the film and appears to be a truly unguarded candid moment. They are both in costume for the film, with Ann’s carefully coiffed hair held in place with a net and she looks absolutely beautiful. \u00c2\u00a0I’ve never been in the Fox Commissary, though it seems to look remarkably the same<\/a> as it did in the 1940s. which makes this photo that much cooler.<\/p>\n

If I had owned this image a year ago I would have used it in the book, though I really can’t adequately explain it is so special for me. \u00c2\u00a0I don’t have too may behind-the-scenes photos from Ann’s post-War films, and since Ann’s role in The Walls of Jericho<\/strong><\/a> is relatively small I don’t have many photos of this film in general. Also, I just love candids. Maybe I’m just so starved for new items for the collection that even the hint of something different will send my spirits soaring. \u00c2\u00a0Whatever the reason, it’s awesome and I hope some of you will enjoy seeing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
