Charlie & Paulette at Players in Hollywood, 1943


This was Charlie's first meeting with his ex following his remarriage to Oona O'Neill. (Photo courtesy of Lisa Stein Haven).

  1. She's wearing the famous bracelet as a dress clip! I am jealous of her style.

  2. Is that the emerald and diamond bracelet? I hadn't noticed it before! I've read that it was a gift (along with matching earrings) from Charlie when she lost the role of Scarlett O'Hara.

  3. You are correct! I saw those pieces (there is a brooch and earrings as well) completely by accident at the Legion of Honor in SF about 7 or 8 years back. I was there to see a DaVinci portrait and it was crowded so I went to look at some jewelry exhibit. I was stunned to see them in a case! They are gaudy gold with emeralds and diamonds - BIG, too. And yes, apparently a consolation gift for losing the role of Scarlett.

    1. Apparently Paulette was an avid jewelry collector. She also had a necklace made from all of her old engagement rings.

  4. Wow, that adds all kinds of question marks! She wears the jewelry he gave her to this "reunion"? A coincidence? Kind of interesting, no?

    1. It IS interesting. I'm wondering if they just bumped into each other and were photographed. I can't imagine that they were really out together alone at this point, but who knows?
