Looks a bit like 'June'.

So June Pinkett.

Is the signature at the end of a letter? (Wondering if there is more writing we can see to compare letter forms)

I considered June too - I can’t think of another girl’s name (born in the 40s perhaps) which might fit.

Surname either has a lot of crossed Ts or she’s crossed her Ts along the length of the name.

Truly spelled incorrectly ….
Wondering if it might be a “foreign” name?

(This looks like the writing of someone older than 20s to me)  :-\ Is the photo of a girl in her 20s?

I think the OP is suggesting it is written on a Black and white photo, Ruskie.

Thanks Gadget. Of course it is.  :-[ I should pay more attention to the subject heading.  ;D

Girl definitely no older than late 20's
No other writing
Leaving face out
 She is wearing overalls over white muscle shirt underwear
Looks like 'Gimar' to me
The last name is a doozy- maybe
p-i-r-o-t-t-e-r-t-t which of course is gobbledygook
TY

Janice Pinkett?
She appears to "dot" her i's with a heart, which would be a young person's habit I would think.
