We start with a new shot of Henry Fonda.

Richard ferried over three more international actresses:

• Valentina Cortese in Malaya (1950)

• Viveca Lindfors

• Ann Todd

Nick drop-shipped some great new scans to us:

• Anita Page - 4 pictures (Ms. Page is the last surviving non-child-star actress from the silent era)

• Gloria Grahame - 10 pictures of the 1940's and 50's sultry actress, including The Big Heat (1953) and The Man Who Never Was (1956)

• Hedy Lamarr - 10 posed shots
