On October 6th, 1906, Laura Augusta Gainor was brought into this world. Today, I celebrate one of my favorite actresses with a photo tribute featuring some rare candids. Happy 103rd, Janet!!

Very nice, Louie!!! Great pics! I really like the ones of her as a child -- how cute!!!!!
Oh, cool child pictures! Thanks for all the rest of them too - really good choices!
Thanks. I have MANY more of Janet in the collection!
The one of her at Coney has to have been super posed. There isn't another person in sight! I like the one of her eating and studying her script (or is that a book?). She was a very pretty girl, wasn't she?
Art loves Janet. She's his favorite (other than me, of course). I'm sure he would love to see some of the other photos from your collection. :D
Samantha,
There are some people on the other side of the bridge but it certainly could have been before opening time. It is certainly a book that she's reading, although I can't read the title.
Ms. Romecapitol,
I didn't know that.....interesting. I probably have 250-300 pictures of her in total so I could certainly bring some to Syracuse in March.
Happy Birthday Janet! We still love you!!!
I like your new presentation pic too, you look cultivated! ;)
Thanks, it's from my "Bauhaus" period!
Wow! She's beautiful and terribly stylish! I think my favourite is the third picture from Coney Island with that most wonderful hat. This has made my day!
Hard to believe Janet was only two years older (to the day) than Carole Lombard, since Janet achieved her fame so much earlier. (They were friends, by the way.)
Incidentally, Janet was initially announced as the female lead in "Nothing Sacred," but a day or two later, Selznick changed the casting to Lombard. Janet might have made an interesting Hazel Flagg, though she certainly would have played the character much differently than Carole did.
Wow, these pictures are simply fantastic, she is so stylish. I esspecially love her coat with the leopard colar, so adorable.
Lovely photos, she's very attractive. Thanks for sharing.
I am a big fan of Laura Augusta Gainor . Thanks for your nice collection. You are really genius.
Thanks to you and Laura Augusta Gainor .
