NEW YORK (1937) — Making his debut as a movie actor, Joe DiMaggio, star slugger of the New York Yankees, is here shown being made up for his first appearance before the camera by Kay Thompson, his leading lady, and a bevy of film beauties. The herculean clouter has been cast in a heroic role — even more heroic than the one in which he is pictured here.
(The film in question was 1937’s Manhattan Merry-Go-Round.)
