TOUGH to find vintage 4x5-inch black and white portrait, looking delicious in her prime, boldly signed and inscribed in blue fountain pen in the 1950s. In good condition, with a minor ink mark to the lower edge. Breathtaking English leading lady Valerie French had leading roles in a mixed bag of A- and B-level pictures, including Secret of Treasure Mountain (1956), The Garment Jungle (1957), The Hard Man (1957), Decision at Sundown (1957), and the horror favorite The Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake (1959). She all but abandoned acting in the 1960s and her autograph is highly elusive in any format.
