Nope, but I'll give you a couple of hints:

1. She was working on a movie when it was discovered she was underage (her mother had lied about her age), so the studio replaced her with her sister. She had two sisters, both of whom have movie credits.
2. She appeared as the leading lady for two major productions, where the leading men won Best Actor Oscars. Between the two films, there were 6 Oscars..

If you're looking for 15 year olds ...

https://www.google.com/search?q=quinceanera+pictures&tbm=isch

One convenient search term is "quinceañera," or "quinceañero."

[Mik]

I do not want to know how you know that.

"Quinciñeara" is fairly popular custom in Mexico and Latin America, no? I figure it's common knowledge.

Another hint...All three sisters worked the Vaudeville stage as young children in a single act. Our thread starter played the accordion. At five years old.

And...She's been on the cover of Life.

Lastly, she was married to an OB/GYN for fifty years...

Seriously? No one else here familiar with the term "quinceneara"? It should be pretty well known given the size and spread of Mexican/Latino communities here.

There was a movie of that title that achieved some fame 15+ years ago. I watched it. I recall at the time that it was a quaint look into latino culture. These days different cultures are everywhere in popular entertainment, and it wouldn't stand out like that.

Who dis?

I’ve seen that photo before. In fact, not that long ago. Can’t remember who it is, although something tells me she was very well known in her day.

[George K]

I cheated and googled it. Still have no idea who she was.

But JWHT, to be sure.

She was.

BTW, the two films were Sargeant York and Yankee Doodle Dandy.

With Gary Cooper at 16...

At 17, with Cagney...
