Two actresses clasp hands outside a courthouse in this 1957 photograph, a gesture that suggests a shared front against the scandal magazine *Confidential*. Maureen O'Hara stands beside Dorothy Dandridge, while O'Hara's brother, James FitzSimons, looks on from nearby. *Confidential* built its readership in the 1950s on exposés of celebrities' private lives, often printed with little regard for accuracy, and many stars of the period fought back in court. Pictures like this one show how publicity battles of the era were staged as much as fought.
