They are preternaturally prominent to my eyes. Her skin in that still looks to be the shade of green you get in the yolk of a hard-boiled egg. Yummy!

Right you are Bill. Her cheeks seem to be a prominent physical attribute of her persona. "You can't smell any reefer, can you"?

Something really common to do on vampire and ghoulish makeups. (The Dick Smith manual describes it, in a "how to," really well.) "[The audiance] will populate the darkness with more horrors than all the horror writers in Hollywood could think of. If you make the screen dark enough, the mind's eye will read anything into it you want! We're great ones for the dark patches." -VAL LEWTON

(They actually look more like some pulp illustrations than the Hollywood flicks.) “The more elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.” Joseph Priestley

She reclined atop Forry's filing cabinets and chatted with me about Humphrey Bogart.

I'm still kinda lost thinking about Florence reclining on Forry's filing cabinets.... "You can't smell any reefer, can you"?
