Thank you all, but Bryan did make the image much brighter, he just give that finish tast that it needed, Thank you for that Bryan, she looks so beautiful and amazing. Do love her hairstylist from that time, "Young at Heart".

This is supposed to be one of the first pictures whereas Doris is seen with her new haircut in 1954

Re Young at Heart hairstyle- it really did start a craze. Loved it when Nancy Sinatra reminded Doris when she interviewed her recently, how she came onto the set of Young at heart and showed DD her [Nancy's] new short hair cut to imitate DD - and DD offered her advice re- to cut it shorter at the sides to get the desired look...so many stars [and others I am sure worldwide] copied this look, Lana, Ava, Elizabeth, Ginger, Shirley Temple, from the younger [Nancy as noted] to the older [Joan Crawford].

Here's a great shot from that Thalians Ball showing Lucy with Lucie & Desi Jnr and our Doris. Sorry about the quality as it is from one of my old scrapbooks. I have several more pics from that occasion. I'm not sure about sizing for the forum so I hope it all comes out.

Great pic, Alan - glad you figured it out!

And thanks Dorine, here's another quick version of the image you posted:



(Having computer problems at the moment! )

I know we all tend to want to make Doris eyes more blue than what they really are, her eyes are really a blue-gray, but are more blue depending on what she is wearing. But I know even when I paint them I usually get them more blue than what they really are. Dorine I did add color to your picture, but even in this photo, I knew her eyes would be bluer because of the blue robe she is wearing. Also there was something about her hair in this photo, just a little too fixed, and not like it was in the movie. I don't like this real fixed look to her hair. I liked the more natural look.



This other two photos is the way her hair looked in the movie.

Thanks Bryan for the "blue" banner.And Barbara,I think this was when Doris just came from the hairdresser and this was the first picture then,with the DA-look,that is probably why it looks so fixed.But nice colouring!

[puck]

Amazing banner Bryan.

[webmaster]

Thanks. Here's a nice one from Barbara:

What a lovely banner with warm colours in full harmony and perfect eyes!

[webmaster]

Yes, and not messed about with by me at all!

[Barbara]

Just wanted to check in and thank Bryan for this banner. When I open up this page, I thought it reminds me of a Young Doris in the springtime of her youth. And thanks Dorine, I too think it turn out really soft and natural. This was a small black and white photo and after I added the color, I wanted to put it in a background that didn't look so drab. This is the photo I painted if from.

[webmaster]

Yes, a lovely photo of Doris - she looks so fresh and young there - I like the colour treatment you gave it or, as Dorine says, the warm colours.

I think I remember Jas saying he liked (or maybe didn't!) her hair style from that era, which I think of as around Tea for Two / Lullaby of Broadway?

[Jas1]

Yes Bryan you are correct lol - although I have to say Barbara [as always] has done a great job with the colours, however, the look is my least favourite of DD - ever.

[puck]

Wonderful banner Barbara, do love the colors, just amazing creation.

[webmaster]

I'm not crazy about that early WB hair style either. Doris has also stated that she didn't care for it at all!

[webmaster]

Okay, get the message. (I still like the photo and hairstyle though!)
