Can anyone identify these two Hollywood Greats actresses?

Hi not posted on here in years and not sure if I have come to the right board. Does anyone know who these old actresses are? They are hand made and unsure how old they are, but they are old. I think the one with the big hat may be Mae West? No idea of the one who is standing. I hope my photos show up! Thanks. Lisa 🙂

I doubt it's possible to know with certainty, but going by various styles to date them, the first  I would agree with Mae West as a likely candidate

As for the second, using same criteria, a little harder, but given the hair colouring looks neither brunette or traditional blonde, it may be meant to be platinum, in which case it could be Jean Harlow

Thank you for your reply. I shall go and look up Jean Harlow! 🙂

Not sure, my guess would be Joan Fontaine.

The first picture looks like Bette Midler to me? ?:|

Pretty sure it's supposed to be Mae "come up and see me " West.

With (and don't shoot the messenger) one of her many fur stoles. 😐

As if!  😉  Sadly it was the height of fashion back then 😞

I think you are right about Mae  ...I'm going to throw Joan Crawford into the pot (not literally) for the second picture?
