Highly rare 8x10-inch 1944 Universal Studios swimsuit portrait, boldly signed and inscribed in black felt-tip marker in the 1980s, when she was living in Hawai'i-- Hence the "Aloha" greeting above the autograph. In good condition, with mild crinkling to the bottom border. Best known for her portrayal of Gwen Conliffe in The Wolf Man (1941), opposite Lon Chaney, Jr., beautiful Chilean-born British scream queen Evelyn Ankers made many other key contributions to the horror and sci-fi genres, playing Norma Lind in Hold That Ghost (1941), Elsa Frankenstein in The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942), Beth Colman in Captive Wild Woman (1943), Claire Caldwell in Son of Dracula (1943), Isabel Lewis in The Mad Ghoul (1943), Ilona Carr in Weird Woman (1944), Beth Mason in Jungle Woman (1944), Julie Herrick in The Invisible Man’s Revenge (1944), and Maura Daniel in The Frozen Ghost (1945).
