Dorothy, Aviatrix Extrodinaire

What an exciting time it was in the late 1920's... Charles Lindbergh made the first transatlantic flight and all the world was captivated. What a perfect opportunity for MGM's Publicity Dept..

Here's the Original Bathing Suit Photo

Goodbye Summer, Hello Bathing Suits!

By 1927, girls knew how to swim in style!

Clarence Sinclair Bull photos

Here is another series of photos, this time taken by Bull, showing Dorothy in sexy little pleated outfit. Not sure of the year on these. Bull was head of MGM's stills department for nearly 40 years and took photos of all the leading stars there. He is especially famous for his portraits of Greta Garbo.

Dorothy on the doghouse?

I never get tired of finding new Dot pictures. When I got the last bunch of magazine pictures and articles this was one of her sitting on top of a doghouse (right) isn't it funny? What didn't the MGM publicity department think of?! This series of photos, taken by William Grimes in 1929, has her painting, gardening and even carrying around a large old pump bug spray gun.. And doing all her chores in heels too!
