for some reason, it seems photos of the original cast of women in FANCY FREE more frequently show Janet Reed, than Muriel Bentley.
but this one, probably from the first season of the ballet at Ballet Theatre, shows Bentley in the role she created, commonly called, 'the girl with the pocketbook'.
Full Version: Muriel Bentley
Great photo, rg, thanks!
And she was the sassiest of all I have seen in the role 
---and she certainly wasn't threatened by the 3 sailors (as some recent performers have been)---this girl was above the fray. That look in her eye captures the way she performed the role, as a real New Yorker would (which she was).
