Breathtaking original 1930s 8x10-inch double-weight sepia-tone portrait, boldly signed and inscribed in purple fountain pen in her later years. In good condition, with minor corner wear. Enigmatically beautiful leading lady Zita Johann is remembered by horror, sci-fi and fantasy fans for her portrayal of Helen Grosvenor in the Boris Karloff horror classic The Mummy (1932), one of her only film roles.
