During the fledgling age of portrait photography, it was of the utmost importance for the subjects to stay still for a period of time. Obviously since this would be difficult for children, their mothers were brought in for the portrait.
For reasons I cannot fathom, it was common for the mothers to be covered in cloth or a curtain. These fabric- covered matriarch were jokingly referred to as ‘Ghost Mums’.

This song is great, but I don’t really like this movie. Though I’m pretty sure Fred Astaire is the (albeit deceased) love of my life, I can’t forgive his character for treating Judy Garland’s Hannah Brown so very terribly. Aside from him being Fred Astaire, there’s nothing attractive about his character. He’s domineering, he puts her down, he tries to change her: he’s a jerk. I would have stuck with Peter Lawford and told Anne Miller to go to H-E-double hockey sticks.
