DescriptionBillie Dove, actress, pilot, poet, and painter, walks on a brick walkway at the Alvarado station in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The background is black revealing shoes and legs in shafts of light behind. She is draped in a decorative shawl, long dress beneath, holds a copy of "Classic" magazine under her arm with a wallet, and has a dark clutch purse in her hand. The other hand rests on her hip. She smiles and looks to the side of the camera with curled hair pinned back.On View
