2. I think it is

Pier Angeli.

James Dean was madly in love with her. She was married to Vic Damone. She committed suicide. I am certain this is her.

5. i think you are correct they were in a movie together

i cheated, i googled..pier angeli and kirk were engaged in the early 50s..and the guy in the bottom photo is her husband vic damone.

18. Pier Angeli

Originally Anna Maria Pierangeli, her name was changed to Pier Angeli by Hollywood.

Beautiful woman. Tragic life.

3. If I had to guess . . .

I'd say Natalie Wood. Fortunately, I don't have to guess.

6. NOT Natalie Wood, I'm certain. The post below guessing Patricia Neal

may be right. Something about that nose.

4. Patricia Neal ?

Someone posted that name and when I look at her eyes, that's who she reminds me of. She sure is a beauty. Let's ask Kirk Douglas. He has a beard in that photo so I'm thinking he was doing his Van Gough roll.

[nevergiveup]

7. Barbara Bush?

I always say Barbara Bush on these and one time last year I was right. I don't think Barbara was ever a movie star so reckon my odds are not good on this one.

[Hepburn]

8. Lauren Bacall?

:shrug:

9. It is Pier Angeli

Check the photos on google images.

11. Facial features look a lot alike, but....

...when I look at the eyes in the mystery pic and this pic of Pier Angeli...IMO, Pier Angeli's eyes look too dark to be the same person in the mystery pic.

12. It is Pier Angeli....one of James Dean's girlfriend, I believe....

14. Agreed, although...

19. Marisa Pavan

13. It is indeed Pier Angeli

She was married to Vic Damone (who she's with in the 3rd picture).

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

15. It's definitely Pier Angeli. The last pic with Vic Damon proves it.

[monmouth]

10. Definitely Anna Marie...She came before Sophia and Gina I think..haha..n/t

[Iggo]

16. All's I know is she's goddam gorgeous!

Yow-za!

17. Jane Alexander

on edit--bet you're right about Pier Angeli!

20. Pamela Brown?

I'm thinking a bearded Kirk Douglas playing Vincent Van Gogh in Lust for Life.
