Our mystery guest has nearly 50 credits on imdb. Update: Yes, she's Jean Porter ... "she has just completed 'Abbott and Costello in Hollywood' and 'Early to Wed,' " according to the caption information on the back of the photo.
Dewey Webb is the first to guess the identity of our mystery actress. Stay tuned for more photos! |

I can't believe I finally recognize one of these mystery photos. It's Jean Porter, wife of blacklisted director Edward Dmytrek. I recognize her because I teach film studies and I see her every semester on a video I show to the class.

The gal on the right looks like Virginia Weidler, making your original guest Jean Porter.
