More amazing photos surfacing. I agree Ginger, that it is almost certainly early to mid 40's. Going on Susan's hair and clothes. America entered the war Dec.'41 so it may date prior to that, but it smacks of an actual wartime shot, so is possibly early 1942-45.?

I wonder how many other photos are out there in private hands ??

Good luck Kim, with your search for any information in this regard. It would be terrific if any other surviving soldier from the photo, (or a relative of same) spotted this.

How exciting to see some new pictures of Susan. I am actually in the U.S. at present, staying in New Hampshire with another fan of Susan's whom I met through your site. I just spent a week outside Boston with another big admirer of Susan's so you can imagine what the main topic of conversation has been.

Many, many thanks Ginger for enabling three dedicated fans to meet through your wonderful site. You are a treasure.

Hi Trish!

Thank you, and I seem to be somewhat of a catalyst for bringing people of like interests together, and I don't mind that role at all!! I think it is exciting that you have met and are visiting two mutual Susan Hayward admirers whom you met via this site. What a circle she has created even though she is gone!

I have met so many good friends here, people I'd love to meet in person someday! I have actually met and travelled with one friend, Elizabeth,that I met here, and the other friend, Julie, lives in the NYC area and I get to visit her each year when I go to NYC to see Kelly. In fact, Kelly and I will be visiting Julie on October 15 and I'm looking forward to it.

It's nice to meet up with others who "get it", isn't it!

I hope you continue to have a wonderful visit to the U.S.

Love,
Ginger

This a great photograph of Susan sharing her lovely smile with our soldiers. It may have been taken at the Hollywood Canteen probably around 1942-1943, as Susan was always busy entertaining our troops, serving food, dancing with the soldiers. Susan met Jess at the Canteen in 1943. I would like to know who the other soldiers are> Good luck Kim in your search and keep informed.

Ray, I was thinking that this was probably taken at the Hollywood Canteen also. What a great looking group of guys they are too!...so long ago and far away.
