There's Something About Maylia
Here are a few pics that didn't make it into my previous post about Maylia, the striking beauty that Columbia Pictures was hoping to turn into the next Anna May Wong. The first two photos are publicity shots for her grand debut, To the Ends of the Earth (1948), and the last is from the April 1948 issue of Esquire.

She looks a bit like Gene Tierney here. I wonder if that was intentional? Very lovely.
Sweetness and beauty! Thanks.
Glenn, her hair reminded me of a young Katherine Hepburn. :D
Oldflames emailed me on Sunday and said he loved Maylia's Veronica Lake peek-a-boo hairstyle.
That was just the look back then -- and what a look it was!
Marvelous pictures, duriandave! The color shot is especially awesome!
She appears to be another petite beauty, maybe even taller than Dick Powell's wife, June Allyson!
Glad you liked 'em, Brother Fang. :)
Gene Tierney, Katherine Hepburn, Veronica Lake, June Allyson--quite a selection of Caucasian beauties.
After much research and serious, prayerful consideration I will toss Hedy Lamarr into the mix.
Thanks for your addition, Ed! Maylia is certainly in good company.
Lauren Bacall. Yes, those luscious lips, 50s hairdo, slinky.
Good call, Andy! Maylia's definitely got the same smoldering allure as Lauren Bacall.
She was stunning 'duriandave' like her look
Yeah, Maylia was not your average beauty. She was definitely a head-turner. Thanks for dropping by!
