Don Herron (the Hammett guy)spotted the Chandler cameo in Double Indemnity, and mentioned it publicly, decades before the cited 2009 revelation. When that story surfaced I queried Don about it, and he said in an email:
"Glad to hear everyone’s buzzing about it now, but, yes, some of us have known for decades. (I would have noticed the first time I saw the movie in a theatre, already familiar with Chandler’s photos — just guessing, prob around 1977 or 78, somewhere in there, so I would have known by the time I met you guys circa 79 or 80-ish.)"
