A black and white photo of a woman with medium-length dark hair, in profile, leaning her cheek on her left hand. Caption reads: "Swedish Star – Viveca Lindfors makes her American stage debut in 'I've Got Sixpence,' a new drama by John van Druten opening tomorrow at the Walnut."
This is one of those days when I come across an item by chance in newspaper archives, and then I think immediately: "Oooh, I know somebody who will LOVE this. . . "
Turns out, #Philadelphia saw Viveca Lindfors' debut on the American stage, in a #johnvandruten play.
