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 vintage matte-finish 7.25 x 9 portrait of Andre gently holding her hands to her cheeks, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Brownie! With my best wishes, sincerely yours, Gwili Andre.” Photo bears an Ernest A. Bachrach blindstamp to the lower left, as well as a Radio Pictures ink stamp to reverse. In fine condition, with slightly trimmed edges. A glowing image of the actress, this is just the third Andre signed photo we have ever offered. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
