Description

Very rare photo of a tragic actress

Danish actress known more for her bizarre suicide than her brief Hollywood career. In 1959, she surrounded herself with reams of publicity photos and press clippings, all of which represented the fame she had expected but hadn’t achieved, set the paper alight, and allowed herself to be consumed by the fire. Mesmerizing and very scarce vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 photo, signed in green fountain pen. In very good condition, with a noticeable vertical crease to left side, affecting a single letter of signature and sentiment. Only the second Andre item we have seen, and the first signed photo. RRAuction COA.
