What an incredibly beautiful, intelligent and head strong woman she was. Too bad sexism and the time caused her contributions to society especially wireless technology go unnoticed for 50 years.

Some places are stating this is a screenshot of her playing Lucienne Talbot in "Crossroads" (1942). Other places are claiming it's AI.

Edit: She doesn't appear in this dress in any of the stock images for this movie on Alamy or publicity photos for the movie on IMDB. This image doesn't show up on TinEye. The image only started to appear online a couple of weeks ago. So I'm leaning towards AI. Prove me wrong.
