Dec. 12, 1941: Crowds in Pershing Square joined in singing "America" and other patriotic songs during the entire period of the blackout last night. The sirens sounded for the lights out signal just as actress Virginia Gilmore and Walter Brennan, three times Academy Award winner, stepped up on the platform at the Defense House in the square to present a program for the national defense savings campaign. They joined singer Frank Chester, who led the community singing, in the National Anthem, which took on new significance as it resounded throughout the downtown business section during Los Angeles' first blackout of the second World War.
[Update: Please congratulate Dewey Webb and Anne Papineau for identifying our mystery woman!]
You may remember this photo from the other day. Everybody recognized Walter Brennan but offered different guesses for the mystery lady. She’s going to be our mystery guest this week.
There’s another photo on the jump!

Friday's picture gives it up: Virginia Gilmore with husband Yul Brynner. The photo puts the lie to Yul's claim that his famous bald look was voluntary.

This is Yul Brynner and wife Virginia Gilmore during happier times.

Could the mystery man be Yul Brynner?

She was in Orchestra Wives, a superior soap, so I recognized her but couldn't place her.
