She does have similarities, but I don't think the guy in the pic is Richard Green, or Cotton.

OMG DD why?… I’d just about forgotten about this now you’ve ignited it again aaaagh!!
Someone must be getting bored and nights drawing in ha.

Just spent the last hour looking at images of movie stars , tried all ways again to try find this darn image. No joy. Can’t understand why we can’t find it as it is one of a run ye..
Do we know what this bridge called they on ?
Jeff Chandler , was my Nans favourite leading man ha.
As I’ve said unless we find a copy if this picture I don’t think we can solve it . Maybe someone new to Wiki can help us . Hope so !

Its just a balcony, not a bridge, I named it some time ago https://www.wikiwirral.co.uk/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/1075313/re-old-car-photo.html#Post1075313 but there are a lot of variants on the name and parts of the location.

nono Not again DD !!!

Didn't we find they were balustrades infront of a hotel and near some gardens ?

Looking yet again last night for possible likenesses. Ruth Roman came near and I think she's been mentioned before too, but taking age, year of car etc. she might not fit. Can't remember all of that now.

This could go on for a few more years yet...

Milko Skofic looks a very good contender in profile but amongst the hundreds of face-on photos none of them bear a close resemblance.

I'm still 99% convinced on Elaine Stewart.

Yes once again I’ve got to admit she looks very much like Elaine Stewart. Bill Carter was her husband so was this guy,I’m throwing him into the mix.

Can't see the attraction, myself, but she was with him a long time.

The badge on the side of the car saying ""Alpine"" does raise some curiosity. While it's difficult to pinpoint the exact details without seeing the photo, it's possible that it could be related to the Alpine brand, known for its stylish and sporty cars. As for the time frame, the 1950s in America does seem like a plausible guess.
To gather more information about the photo and potentially identify any celebrities, you might want to try searching online archives or automotive history resources. They could provide valuable insights into the car's make and model, as well as any notable events or individuals associated with it.
By the way, if you're looking to showcase the restored photo in a unique and visually appealing way, consider exploring Canvas Prints Online. It's all about preserving and displaying those special moments!
