Academy Award winning actress for her role in The Bad and The Beautiful. Her first public recognition came on loan-out in It’s a Wonderful Life. Though her talent and sex appeal were of star quality, she did not fit the star pattern at MGM, which sold her contract to RKO in 1947. Vintage matte-finish 3.5 x 5.5 postcard photo, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “Rono, Best wishes, Gloria Grahame.” Grahame also adds an unsigned ALS on the reverse, mentioning her films Crossfire, Roughshod, and Love Denial. Light show-through from cancellation on reverse, crease to upper portion, and some irregular adhesion to signature, otherwise fine condition. R&R COA.
