Description

Gorgeous seldom-seen portrait of the tragic actress

Promising American actress (1913–1970) whose career was cut short by alcoholism. She retired from films in 1942 and spent a large part of the remainder of her life in mental institutions, dying of cancer at 57. Rare vintage glossy 8 x 10 Paramount Pictures publicity photo from 1936, signed in fountain pen, “Frances Farmer, July 31 ‘37.” In fine condition, with some scattered light creases and a bit of mild surface rubbing. Farmer is decidedly scarce in signed photos, and this phenomenal portrait is likely the finest you will ever see. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
