EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming lady, Miss Judy McCrea, exemplifies the multifaceted nature of life in the wartime entertainment industry. In this photograph, she is seen taking a moment for herself backstage at the renowned Windmill Theatre during a performance of Revudeville in 1939. With the pressures of her duties as an Air Raid Warden and her role as a showgirl, Miss McCrea savors the calm before the next act. Her revealing dance costume, a staple of the Windmill Theatre's risqué revues, adds an alluring contrast to the seriousness of her wartime responsibilities. The interval, a brief respite from the spotlight, provides a moment of relaxation and normalcy amidst the chaos of the war effort. This image, titled 'Laughter and song of this wartime world,' is a poignant reminder of the resilience and adaptability of the entertainment industry during the 1930s and the 20th century.
