You are very correct John. To her right in the screen version of this photo we see the sign
BABY FOOD. Was the food safe to eat after this scene?
John Maddox Roberts writes: Alan Ladd was another who refused to remove his wedding ring for a role. He had a collection of fake jewels and insignia and such to clip onto it when was in an unmarried role. Still wore it in his last role, as Nevada Smith in "The Carpetbaggers."
I wasn't aware of that. I would suspect that there were others also. Hollywood has some strange fetishes.
Remember that Hollywood was founded in the 1890s on the principals of clean living, sobriety and the Bible. Then came the movies and things changed....a lot.
