Look at the antique sitting next to her.
That's maybe your granny in a similar situation.
Lupe's image is exactly the personality I'd used to always fall for and usually got, much to my and her suffering.
(I had a thing for Edie Sedgwick too...)
I have since learned... but I'm still stimulated by her image here.
Not so much the others of her.

Photogenic. Fh, you are in good company.
Quote:
Vélez had a number of highly publicized affairs. Her first widely publicized love affair was with John Gilbert. She also had affairs with Clark Gable, Charlie Chaplin, Erich Maria Remarque, Errol Flynn and Mexican actor Arturo de Córdova.
One of Vélez's more publicized relationships was with actor Gary Cooper. Vélez met Cooper during the filming of The Wolf Song, and began a two-year affair with him. About her romance with Cooper, Dietrich said: "Gary was totally under the control of Lupe". When Cooper filmed Morocco, he found time to have an affair with Dietrich, despite the constant presence of Vélez on the set. Vélez once said, "If I had the opportunity to do so, I would draw the eyes to Marlene Dietrich". Wiki

While tragic, Lupe's demise may have been less noirish than reported. Read about it here:

A life less tragic, yet Delores Del Rio tabled with Coop and had a body language too. Perhaps more understated than Lupe's.

The unanswered question concerns Lupe's paddle skills. Not much doubt about Delores.

Address unidentified, but the moderne theme suggests Santa Monica.
