Rare vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 head-and-shoulders portrait of McDaniel in her classic role as Mammy in Gone With the Wind, signed in fountain pen, “Best Wishes, from Hattie McDaniel, ‘44,’ G.W.T.W.” In fine condition. Exceptionally rare and highly desirable, this is just the third photo of McDaniel in her iconic role that we have ever offered—and the first uninscribed example in over a decade.
