Utterly beautiful blonde actress who got involved with a married Ziegfeld comedian, causing a major sex scandal. Her self-destructive bent resulted in nervous breakdowns and eventually she began using heroin. She died in 1948 at the age of 42 from cardiac and liver disease. Gorgeous pearl-finish 7.5 x 9.75 portrait of Nolan in a low cut black dress, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “To Jaroslav Kondeka, Cordially, Mary Nolan.” In fine condition, with a couple of mild corner bends. R&R COA.
