Description

Rare photo of the beautiful La Marr

Beautiful silent screen star and early horror actress (1896–1926) who lived an extravagant Hollywood lifestyle and died tragically young of tuberculosis. Extraordinarily rare and beautiful vintage sepia matte-finish 7.25 x 9.5 portrait of La Marr bathed in soft light, signed and inscribed in green fountain pen, “To Margaret, With love, Lest she forget, Barbara, 4-2-’20.” Reverse bears an original photographer’s stamp from Woodbury of Los Angeles. In fine condition, with a few unobtrusive surface creases. After a brief employment writing screenplays at Fox studios, La Marr made her film debut in 1920, starring in six movies and earning the reputation as ‘The Most Beautiful Girl In The World.’ A tender depiction of the ill-fated starlet, and only the third La Marr autograph we have offered. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
