That would not be definitive, as often photos are printed in
reverse in order to make the best composition. I always get
a laugh at men's clothing ads which show the buttons on the
"wrong" (left) side.

In addition, someone may change the side their hair is
parted on for any number of reasons. Through my youth and
in high school I parted my hair on my right side. I was in
an auto accident and received a scalp injury which resulted
in a scar along my old part line. Since then I have parted
my hair on my left side.

I think it's Greta Garbo and Ronald Coleman. I'd bet some money, but not a
lot.

The eyes look a lot like this picture
