She’s probably pretty young here, and perhaps was an entertainer.* But most people wouldn’t have gotten too worked up about it. The 30s weren’t all that buttoned down.
*Google says yes; she was a stunt performer in the movies. And she began to develop her physique while using exercise to help recover from terrible burns as a child.
