U.S. born actress Ruth Etting came from Nebraska, so what better place for a farmgirl to lounge than a growing tank? Well, maybe it’s just a rectangular bathtub, but then what are the plants about? Etting debuted in movies in 1929 and scored about a dozen roles, but because she was a notable singer she’s been heard on soundtracks as recently as in 2017’s Moon Rock City. The photo is actually misidentified everywhere as featuring Ruth Stevens, a completely different Swedish born actress from the same period. The mix-up is a classic example of an internet replication error. The original uploader of the image gets it wrong and everyone forever after does too because they trust that the original info is correct. Actually, they mostly don’t care. But we do.
