If you go to getty images site. You'll see some very nice photos of Myrna. Some rather worrying ones too, when she looked very ill, just before she died.

I've been there and have many of them full size. You'd be amazed how poor a condition they're in. If you go to doctormacro dot info and look in the gallery for her, check the annex page and you'll find many of them, most restored and donated by me and Max (GrouchoBarks on here). All large high quality images. Enjoy, jane :)
