Jack Dempsey modeling in 1940 for Ruth Yates (1896-1969).
Ruth Yates was actually the mother of novelist Richard Yates (1926-1992) widely known for "Revolutionary Road" which was made into a movie 2008 reuniting Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet after "Titanic".
Ruth Yates also made a bust of Joe Louis in 1939. According to Richard Yates biographer Blake Bailey ("A tragic Honesty. The life and work of Richard Yates" New York 2003) a picture of Joe Louis and Ruth Yates was widely published in newspapers that year.
13 year old novelist-to-be Richard Yates and his older sister were ringside at the first Joe Louis-Arturo Godoy fight in February 1940, at Madison Square Garden, with free tickets from the Louis camp.
