“A Sunday at Watson’s”
J. Watson Webb Jr. and Jeanne Crain (1925-2003) worked together on both STATE FAIR (1945) and A LETTER TO THREE WIVES (1949). Jeanne Crain married Paul Brinkman in 1945, which might help date these photos.
Watson Webb’s sister Lila Vanderbilt Webb (1913-1961) married John Currie Wilmerding (1911-1965) in 1935.
“Wat & Smoke”
Rory Calhoun (Francis Timothy McCown, 1922-1999) made his first films as Frank McCown in 1944-45. (He refers to himself as Smoke in these photos.) As Rory Calhoun, he went on to have a long career in films and television. He married his first wife, Lita Baron, in 1948.
James Watson Webb Jr. (usually credited as J. Watson Webb Jr., 1916-2000) would become the chief editor at 20th-Century Fox — his career in Hollywood spanned the years 1941-52.
