Luise Rainer (1910-2014), while filming HOSTAGES (1943). The photo is attributed to A. L. “Whitey” Schafer (1903-1951).
Miss Rainer was the first performer to win consecutive Academy Awards as Best Actress: first for playing Anna Held in THE GREAT ZIEGFELD (1936), and then as O-Lan in a very different film, THE GOOD EARTH (1937).
