I’m hoping that’s film starlet Lynn(e) Baggett. If it is, she was involved in a hit and run that left a child dead.

If it’s her, perhaps the man on the right in the last photo is her (estranged/ex) husband, producer Sam Spiegel? She was involved in a hit and run death of a small child circa 1954, I think.

No certainity this time but I will guess Lynne Baggett because of law problems and association with George Tobias.

Hmm. The two fellows in the naval uniforms in Tuesday’s picture look like Frank Albertson and Robert Armstrong, and the man on the right in Thursday’s picture is George Tobias, but I don’t know who the young lady is.

What is the Wednesday photo from? The lady on the left is very familiar and I’m trying to figure out who it is. Is it a movie? I couldn’t find a film that seemed to match that still; she was mostly in bit uncredited parts, anyway.
