I've been wrong before - but the resemblance seems "iffy" to me.

(Incidentally, LOOK magazine's archives are hosted by the Library of Congress. https://www.loc.gov/item/2009632609/) Shorpy has a shot of the two in their home but it is hardly dispositive of gent crossing the street with Lana. http://www.shorpy.com/node/15505?size=_original#caption Frankly, since Artie was known as well as Lana, it is surprising there wasn't a positive ID provided.

FWIW, Lana changed just a little over the years.
