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 glossy 8 x 10 photo of Grahame in a summer print dress, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “Best Wishes Francis, Gloria Grahame.” In fine condition, with a few edge creases. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
