America's first movie columnist (1881-1972) whose columns were read by 20 million people. Vintage matte-finish 11 x 14 portrait of Parsons, affectionately signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To my husband-and this is news in Hollywood-I love him, Louella Parsons Martin, Oct 29 '37." In good to very good condition, with scattered creases and edge tears, a missing lower right corner, and silvering to darker areas. Parsons married Los Angeles surgeon Dr. Harry Martin in 1930, and remained married until the latter's death in 1951.
