Description

Scarce uninscribed portrait of Hepburn, who agrees it “looks fairly real”

Scarce matte-finish 7.5 x 9.5 screened planographic print of Hepburn in her 1935 role as Alice Adams, signed in the lower right in black ink, attractively double-matted and framed with UV-protective glass to an overall size of 13 x 15; and a TLS sent to a previous owner of the photo, one page, 6 x 8, personal letterhead, August 21, 1984, responding to his question of whether or not the signed photo was genuine. In full: “Looks fairly real.” In overall fine condition. For her portrayal of Alice Adams, Hepburn received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role. An unusual and interesting autographic pairing, as she was notably reluctant to sign photos for anyone but close friends and professional associates. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
