Recently I've been seeing a link for a click-bait article that promises a photo gallery from Woodstock "that will make your skin crawl" (???). The photo that's being used in this link is above, and I was so fascinated by it that I did some research. And I discovered that the woman in the photo isn't from Woodstock. The photo wasn't even taken in the 1960s.
It's a picture of silent film actress Bessie Love, and while she looks she could be a hippie chick from the '60s (or a country girl from any era, really), the photo was actually taken in the 1920s. Love was never a really big star, but she kept acting steadily in silent films and eventually moved into acting in talkies, as well. You can read more about her life and career here.
