Ida Lupino for Rheingold beer, 1955
Full page newspaper advertisement. Large headline at top in a script typeface: “‘My beer is Rheingold—the Dry beer!’ says Ida Lupino” Two large photos below. On left, Lupino wearing work gloves posing refinishing a wooden chair, a small dog looking up at her. On right, Lupino posing as hostess of a social gathering. Below the left photo is caption: "Remember the old expression - 'Let George do it'?" asks famous movie and television star Ida Lupino. "Today, most of us have a different philosophy--Do it yourself. It's fine and fun for hobbies-but when it comes to beer the only answer is ... Below the right photo the caption continues: "Let Rheingold do it! If you want beer as beer should taste-the place to find it is behind that famous Rheingold label. No other beer can match Rheingold's clean, clear, Extra Dry taste. That's why it's New York's largest-selling beer!" At bottom is Rheingold logo and tagline: Its beer as beer should taste! Always refreshing - never filling

The photo of Lupino at her songwriting is from this 1943 magazine article, “Louis Gets the Lowdown on Lupino.”

Lupino: “All I care about is that we win this war. As long as I’ve got Louis and my health, and can have a good laugh occasionally, I’ll do all right .”
Two-page magazine layout from Screenland (Feb. 1943) with six photos and large headline along with article text. Headline: “LOUIS GETS THE LOWDOWN ON LUPINO! from Elizabeth Wilson.” Subtitle: “A Hollywood husband, now in the armed forces, will learn what his pretty blonde wife has been up to during his absence when he reads this!” Photos: headshot of Hayward, Lupino eating cake with Monty Woolley on the set of “Life Begins at Eight-Thirty” (1942), Lupino in uniform for the Women’s Ambulance and Defense Corps, dual portrait of Hayward and Lupino, Lupino songwriting at piano, and Lupino writing a letter to Hayward.

Paulette Goddard in Movie Mirror, Dec. 1935

“From a bit player in Eddie Cantor's ‘The Kid from Spain’ to leading woman for Charlie Chaplin's new ‘Modern Times’—that's the cinema history of Paulette, Hollywood's mystery lady, since she arrived in an Hispano-Suiza from out of nowhere.”
Goddard in costume for Modern Times, ragged simple dark ‘dress,’ sitting on a barrel with a mischievous look on her face.

Ann Sothern with a super-cute white floof dog. I don't have any more information than that, but how much more do we need, really.
Sothern has on a chic little black hat and a fur jacket. She is holding the small(ish) dog. The dog has floppy floof ears, a big black nose, and fur almost covering its eyes.

Ida Lupino songwriting in 1943, while husband Louis Hayward was with the Marines.

“Ida is still putting out songs as regularly as most people put out the cat. She has composed many of them for the RAF in Canada to use in their camp shows, and a special song dedicated to Hayward.”
Photo published i Screenland, Feb. 1943. Lupino seated at upright piano, hair up, hands on keyboard, pencil in her teeth, sheets of music in front of her. Photo of her recently deceased father Stanley is on top of the piano.

As the people who insist otherwise try to burn the country, it's important to affirm that immigrants, from everywhere, are awesome, and America is better the more immigrants we have. You have to be just empty and vapid and unimaginably small to reject that.
