Description

Mammy signs in the same year as the Gone With the Wind premiere

Scarce vintage glossy 8 x 10.25 photo of McDaniel in a housemaid costume similar to Mammy’s, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “Best wishes to Doris Randle, from Hattie McDaniel, 9/4/39.” In fine condition, with some creasing to borders. Filming for Gone With the Wind finished on July 1, 1939, and post-production continued until November 11, before it premiered at the end of the year. In winning an Academy Award for her role as Mammy, McDaniel earned a place in Hollywood history as the first African-American performer to win an Oscar. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
