Mamie Van Doren posing for one of her many sexy "cheesecake" photographs, wearing sheer black nylon stockings with reinforced heels and toes (often called "RHT" for short) on her long, perfectly shaped legs, clad in a filmy gown and seated on a stool, giving a sultry, flirtatious breaking-the-fourth-wall glance at the viewer. This is likely a promo photograph for her movie "The Girl in Black Stockings" (as the movie was made while the Production Code was still in force, I don't know if she actually dressed like this in the film).
#BOTD in 1931, Mamie Van Doren, literally one of the last of the blonde bombshells of the 1950's (Kim Novak is the only other one I can think of off the top of my head who's still with us). #filmsky #moviesky #classicactress #sexsymbol #mamievandoren #classicmovies #cheesecake #vintagepinup
