Who are these people in this photo? At first I thought Eva Gabor, but I'm not so sure. If we knew the guy, it may help, too. Looks like about in the 1950's era.

My guess she is Kim Novak. Sexy lady.

Good catch, according to Google it's her shooting pool with Jack Lemmon.

This thread sparked my interest because I knew Kim Novak for a brief time in the 1980s. She went by her married name at the time as Kim Malloy. I lived and worked in Klamath Falls, Oregon at the time as a furniture salesperson. Kim lived in Chiloquin, Oregon to the north and would often come into our store because it was just about the only store in that area that sold high-end furniture. Over a period of time I sold her several thousands of dollars worth of furniture. She lived on a ranch and was married to a successful veterinarian and would sometimes come into the store wearing blue jeans and cowboy boots covered in cow poop. Because she was a fairly regular customer that just about everybody knew on sight, not once did anyone in our store ever approach her for an autograph or bother her in any manner. For some reason she preferred to remain anonymous and just go about her business like any ordinary customer. I never once asked her about her Hollywood career, which I knew was they way she preferred it, and as a result we got along just great. This next part sounds like I'm making it up, but its 100% true. We got along so well that she wouldn't work with anyone else except me and would sometimes call the store in advance to make sure I was there. I don't recall exactly how old she was at the time, but probably in her late 50s, and was still a total knockout that I will never forget. This link discusses a little bit about her and includes mention of her husband and where they lived near Chiloquin, Oregon.

Paul Newman raced some at a track near my home. he patronized a small local restaurant nearby and he'd talk your leg off about automobiles or racing. If you mentioned acting or movies he'd get up and leave.
