Description

Excessively rare portrait of ‘The Girl Who Was Too Beautiful’

Beautiful silent screen star and early horror actress (1896–1926) who lived an extravagant Hollywood lifestyle and died tragically young of tuberculosis. Extraordinarily rare and beautiful vintage sepia matte-finish 7.25 x 9.5 portrait of La Marr bathed in soft light, signed and inscribed in green fountain pen, “To Margaret, With love, Lest she forget, Barbara, 4-2-’20.” Reverse bears an original photographer’s stamp from Woodbury of Los Angeles. In fine condition, with a few unobtrusive surface creases. This is the first La Marr autograph we have offered in over a decade, and the first signed photo in nearly 15 years. A true rarity and gorgeous pose. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
