EDITORS COMMENTS
Ann Sothern, the vivacious and talented actress, is captured in this stunning photograph from the set of "Congo Maisie," a 1940 MGM production. In this image, Ann dons a breathtaking Dolly Tree costume, a magnificent piece of 1940s fashion that epitomizes the glamour and elegance of Hollywood's golden age. The jazz age was in full swing during the production of "Congo Maisie," and Ann's character, Maisie Rennert, was a lively and independent woman who defied societal norms. This is reflected in her costume, which features a daringly low-cut neckline, a form-fitting silhouette, and a voluminous skirt that swirls around her as she moves. The Dolly Tree costume was designed by the renowned costume designer, Irene Lentz, who was known for her innovative and stylish designs. The gown was made of a luxurious, shimmering fabric that caught the light and accentuated Ann's curves. The intricate beading and sequin detailing added an extra touch of glamour, making this costume a true standout. Ann Sothern's performance in "Congo Maisie" was a critical and commercial success, and this photograph captures the essence of her character and the era in which it was made. The combination of Ann's charisma, the stunning costume design, and the vibrant jazz music of the time made "Congo Maisie" a must-see film for audiences in the 1940s and continues to captivate viewers today.
