Beautiful beyond a shadow of a doubt.
This shadow-draped photo appeared around the time Paramount made the actress pictured change her professional name to Margaret Hayes, which was early 1941. Before that she was Dana Edwards. And before that she was Dana Dale. And way before that she was born Florette Regina Ottenheimer, so any of those new names would have been an upgrade, especially in 1941 when a German name may have been a hindrance for an actress just starting out. Anyway, she’s remembered today by her Margaret Hayes moniker and here she looks quite provocative, to say the least. Just the thing to get your Monday started right.

Because It has personality.
Above, the cover and a few interior pages of It, a mid-century celeb publication that billed itself as “that personality magazine.” This issue, with Joan Blondell, Dana Dale, Joan Leslie, Helene Leslie, Myrna Loy and many others was published this month in 1941.
