"Miss Wright shall not be required to pose for photographs in a bathing suit unless she is in water." 1/3
#BOTD 1918 – 2005 Teresa Wright, US actress.

"Neither may she be photographed running on the beach with her hair flying in the wind. Nor may she pose in any of the following situations: in shorts; playing with a cocker spaniel; digging in a garden, or 'whipping' up a meal." 2/3
