Charming vintage 8x10-inch black and white portrait, boldly signed and inscribed in blue fountain pen in 1940. In good condition. Although adorable singer and film actress Fifi D'Orsay was known for playing the quintessential Parisian coquette, she was actually Canadian! In 1971, at the age of 67, she was typecast as faded musical star Solange LaFalitte in Stephen Sondheim's "Follies," and, as the studio recording attests, she was still hot stuff, even in her later years.
