Gwen Lee, a busy trouper on the MGM lot, stops her high-wheel bicycle alongside a new Chevy, in a photo taken in 1928. The Jazz Age flapper appeared alongside Lon Chaney in Laugh, Clown, Laugh, in the Norma Shearer vehicle, A Lady of Chance, and a slew of MGM titles in the ’20s and ’30s.
Here’s the snipe: “When wheels were high and dresses were long– Gwen Lee, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer featured player, dressed in the proper attire for traveling in the ’80s, and the new Chevrolet six cylinder model.”
