Author: NEAGLE, Dame Anna (1904-86)
Title: Inscribed Photograph Signed
Description: Enormously popular English actress of the 1930s and '40s, specializing in historical heroines ("Nell Gwyn," "Victoria the Great"); returning to the stage in "Charlie Girl," she set a record with 2,062 performances over seven years. IPS, 11" X 14", n.p. [Los Angeles, CA], 1940 n.d. Near fine. Beautiful, high-quality full-length portrait of a young Neagle in the film "Irene" (1940) wearing an ornate period costume, handsomely inscribed to an Evergreen Theatres Corporation (Portland, OR) employee: "For Katherine Marshall -- / With every good wish -- / Anna Neagle / 1940." A superb and unusual oversize portrait -- not the kind sent out for run-of-the-mill autograph requests. With original envelope. .
