Oscar-nominated, Russian-born actress (1887–1949) best remembered for her portrayal of Maleva, the old fortune teller in the 1941 horror classic The Wolf Man. Ouspenskaya died from a stroke several days after receiving severe burns in a house fire, which she had caused by falling asleep while smoking a cigarette. Striking vintage glossy 8 x 10 photo, signed and inscribed in ink, “To Alice with best wishes, M. Ouspenskaya.” A few tiny creases and dings, otherwise very fine, fresh condition. A wonderful example! RRAuction COA.
