Scarce vintage 8x10-inch black and white portrait, looking lovely in her prime, boldly signed and inscribed in blue felt-tip pen in the 1960s or 1970s. In good condition, with gentle handling dings confined to the left border. Acclaimed novelist and journalist Joanna Barnes made several notable forays into acting in the 1950s through 1980s, typically cast as snobbish young society types. Best known for her portrayals of Gloria Upson, Patrick's endlessly irritating fiancee in Auntie Mame (1958), Claudia Marius in Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus (1960) and Vicky Robinson in Disney's The Parent Trap (1961), she also shone in Tarzan, the Ape Man (1959), The Purple Hills (1961) and Goodbye Charlie (1964).
