At least Ned Beatty and Burt Reynolds appear to be vaguely familiar with how to hold paddles and the concept of tandem paddling. John Voight looks hopeless.

Is Natalie embracing some sort of poling position?

I don't think so.
Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) at the right on a duck hunt in Sun Valley, Idaho, on Nov. 13, 1940, in a photo shoot for Life Magazine. Is there water there?
I'm serious about this skepticism. I don't hunt ducks (or anything else), but I just wondered whether the canoe was just a prop for the magazine shoot. So I searched on duck hunting in Sun Valley, Idaho, and came upon this:
"There are not many places where you can duck hunt and plan on keeping your feet dry. Here at [Dry Foot Outfitters], we specialize in Mallards. To be more specific: Mallards over dry ground. Our world famous duck field sits next to the Hagerman Wildlife Refuge."

One has to wonder if he brought his own canoe; if he was disappointed by the lack of water and if he cared (or even noticed).
Yeah, there's something sinful in the background, but every rational eye will focus on Carol "Return to Peyton Place" Lynley (1942-2019).

Nothin' sinful about a Yakker drowning in a pool. 
I will admit that I might not have noticed him in time to resuscitate if not for your heads-up and yeah, I know, he's practicing eskimo rolls... been there, learned to do them in a pool (and a yak).

The gorgeous member of the most famous and elegant dance duo in the history of the silver screen, Ginger Rogers (1911-1995) liked to canoe.
Fred Astaire liked to canoe as well.

This photo has me curious. Does her age in this picture match the kayak in the pool? The boat looks relatively modern but she isn't.
Alan
How did you do that?

I googled it and found that picture on Flickr. Whoever uploaded it was pointing out that the version that's all over the internet (with the kayak) is a photoshopped version and included the pics from the paddling magazine to show where the kayak originally came from.
Alan
Thanks Alan. I often wonder how to dissect a photoshopped image. You made it sound easy.

Sharp-eyed skepticism and Sherlockism, Alan.
See, I said something "sinful" was in the background. So we not only have a picture of a kayak in a celebrities in canoes thread, but a FAKE kayak. Hmm . . . maybe that makes it more acceptable.
Carol stays. She may not have participated in rolling a kayak, but she did participate in rolling an entire ocean liner in the Poseidon Adventure (1972). See at 0:10 seconds and maybe other places:
