I believe that's her.
At one point on the disc's worthless commentary she states that the original painting used in "Laura" is now hanging at a university. Right after that, Raksin says it's privately owned. I tend to believe David since I once met someone who knew the fellow who owns it.
As David recalls, it wasn't truly an original oil, but was instead a touched up photograph taken by the Fox still Department. Preminger wasn't happy with the result of the commissioned painting and asked if an enlarged photo could be made to look like a painting.
The point is that two people with conflicting opinions were not communicating and obviously no one was listening to what was being said. I even wonder if David was in the same studio with Kalinak when the voiceovers were recorded!
Kalinak tends to make superficial vagaries that at times do not to make that much sense. David on the other hand was there during the production of the film and knew much more yet they failed to use him that much. I doubt he says enough to fill a single double-spaced page .
Around the time David did that recording I asked him about it and he didn't feel the people in charge really cared all that much what he said. It's a shame since he was a walking encyclopedia on the film industry. He utilized a sharp, calculated wit that at times could almost cut through steel. I hope that his memoirs are being properly edited and will eventually be published. I understand that Marilee Bradford was helping him in that regard before he died.
