Somebody in my father's family had a farm in the early 20th century. So they had 18 children most likely to help man the farm. During WW2, the men were off to war and the women had to do all the farming chores.

Bessie Love (1898-1986) was an American actress who was popular in the silent film era. She began her career in 1915 and rose to fame in the 1920s, appearing in numerous films, including "The King of Kings" (1927) and "The Broadway Melody" (1929), for which she won a special honorary Academy Award. She continued acting in talkies but her popularity waned, and she eventually moved to England, where she worked in film and television until her death. Despite her decline in fame, Love remains a beloved figure of the silent era, known for her charming on-screen presence.

If that photo had been colorized, and focus on her facial features sharpened up a bit, I could've believed she was a hippie from my region, circa 1970s.
