Here is one more press photo of actress Geraldine Page from the 1962 film Sweet Bird of Youth. Milt Kahl stated that he actually studied her acting in this movie. In one scene Page kicks Paul Newman in the chest, something Milt applied to Medusa and the character of Penny toward the end of The Rescuers.
It is only my assumption that Milt saw this B&W photo and used a similar pose for the final key drawing of a scene, in which Medusa puts on her coat. She gets ready to travel to Devil's Bayou.
