EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from September 1942, we see the beautiful actress Doris Sherrell taking a unique precautionary measure during World War II. As a performer in Blackouts of 1942, she understands the potential risks of bombing attacks and decides to have her address and Social Security number tattooed on her legs. The artist behind this unusual act is Jack Julian, who carefully etches the vital information onto Doris' skin. The image captures an intriguing juxtaposition between fear and resilience. Despite the looming threat of war, Doris confidently sits on a stool with a smile on her face while Jack meticulously works on his artistry. Her mid-century American costume exudes patriotism as she prepares herself for any possible air raid. This photograph not only showcases Doris Sherrell's bravery but also highlights the innovative ways people adapted to wartime circumstances. It serves as a reminder of how individuals were willing to go to great lengths to protect themselves and their loved ones during uncertain times. Preserved by The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into history through one woman's determination to safeguard her identity amidst chaos. It symbolizes both the strength and vulnerability that characterized life during World War II in Los Angeles, California - where citizens like Doris faced adversity head-on while still finding moments of joy and creativity amid darkness.
