EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the 1920s showcases a behind-the-scenes moment at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios as actress Marion Davies assists tennis champion Suzanne Lenglen with her makeup for a film test. The photo, published on the cover of Tatler magazine in January 1927, captures the essence of glamour and the intersection of Hollywood and sports during an era when both Marion and Suzanne were at the height of their careers. Marion Davies, an accomplished actress and socialite, was known for her captivating screen presence and charm. Meanwhile, Suzanne Lenglen, a French tennis player, was a six-time Grand Slam singles champion and a cultural icon in her own right. The pairing of these two extraordinary women for a film test is a testament to the power of their charisma and the influence they held over their respective industries. In the photograph, Marion tenderly applies lipstick to Suzanne's lips, her expression one of focus and concentration. The tennis champion, with her intense gaze and poised demeanor, exudes an air of confidence and sophistication. The setting, a well-lit and meticulously arranged film set, further emphasizes the glamour and allure of the Hollywood film industry during the 1920s. This image is a fascinating glimpse into the world of early Hollywood and the intersection of sports and entertainment. It showcases the beauty, grace, and charisma of two iconic women, and the magic that unfolds behind the scenes on a film set.
