Various Places: , 1930-2000. A Vivid Gallery of Hollywood History From Silent-Era Pioneers to Golden Age Stars [HOLLYWOOD ICONS]. A Collection of Twenty-Eight Original Signed and Inscribed Photographs. Various places, various dates, ca. 1930s–1970s. Twenty-eight black-and-white photographs (sizes ranging from 5 x 7 in. to 10 x 8 in.), each boldly signed or inscribed by leading actors, actresses, directors, producers, and musicians of Hollywood’s Golden Age and beyond. All items in near-fine or better condition, many with personalized inscriptions. A remarkable assembly of signed portraits representing the glamour and breadth of twentieth-century cinema and stage, including Academy Award winners, legendary directors, pioneering producers, and iconic performers. Together, these images form a vivid gallery of Hollywood history: from silent-era pioneers (Anna May Wong, Raoul Walsh, Fay Wray) to Golden Age stars (Tyrone Power, Joan Fontaine, Olivia de Havilland, Janet Gaynor, Rosalind Russell), and from influential directors and producers (John Ford, William Wyler, King Vidor, Billy Wilder, Otto Preminger, Hal Wallis, Joe Pasternak) to cross-disciplinary figures such as Leonard Bernstein. The inscriptions, many personalized, add a layer of provenance and human connection to these iconic names. The Photographs: Constance Bennett – Signed 10 x 8 in. photograph.
