I'm just a dame who loves film noir, the Roaring Twenties, and dead actors.

An old cosplay I did of Lonette from "Cool World." (I believe this was 2016.)
The hair is two different wigs pinned together...and I don't think I still have either of them. I don't have the outfit or figure anymore either.
The only piece I think instill have now is the earrings. And probably the maroon purse you can only see the strap of in the last picture.

Just two pictures of Peter Lorre against blinds (or a louvered door in the first one?) and a hat and coat.

This puts a different spin on why Lotte was so upset about the fake jewels that Lord Bastard (I don't remember his real name) gave her in "the Verdict" (1946)

Peter Lorre with the gorgeous eyes
I don't remember where I first saw this pic, and it looks like it has/had a watermark on it. It looks like he's holding a script. Something about this capture makes it particularly vivid, like you can feel the doorknob in his hand there, and hear what he's about to say to you.

"PETER LORRE, the film star, with his wife, arrived today from the Pan-American Clipper at London Airport to visit the music halls here to see the musicals with the variety acts portraying scenes from some of his films." June 30, 1949. Source
That's Kaaren Verne, you lazy captioner!
But now I can place this 1949 picture of them, which I believe is at a supper club over in London:

Kaaren's hat & veil and outfit match her arrival picture. Our man Peter has changed his shirt to accommodate his bow tie, and possibly his jacket as well.
Add in these other 1949 pictures at the Stork Club (a nightclub in Swallow Street in London'sΒ West End). I think these too are from the same trip, though Kaaren is wearing a different hat & veil:


If you're wondering why they don't really look happy in any of the pics...
Setting aside the fact that some of the pics are undoubtedly candids, Peter's usual awareness of lurking cameras seems to have eluded him. But then, Peter had recently filed for bankruptcy on May 20, 1949. That would make taking a trip like this most bittersweet.
Plus the romance between himself and Kaaren had faded before they'd even gotten married (they would divorce in 1950). :(
