Celebrity Canoe Paddles: Hollywood Canoe Stars

An old thread on the WCHA forums featuring Marilyn Monroe in a canoe resulted in post by Dave Osborn featuring other Hollywood actors lounging in a gorgeous canoe.

Of course, wooden canoe fans first tried to I.D. the beautiful boat and the conclusion was a Kennebec. After than folks were guessing at the ID of the couple with no definitive answers. Recently I came across an ad posted on EBAY ad featuring the same shot, which identified the actors as Joel McCrea & Maureen O'Sullivan, who played the original Jane in the first Tarzan movie! They starred in a film together in 1935 called Woman Wanted. This shot may be promo photo or image from the film. Either way, it's one of my favourite vintage canoe pics.
