Stately-looking, uncommonly early 8x10-inch black and white Universal Studios publicity portrait, boldly signed and inscribed in green fountain pen for inveterate autograph hound and U.S. Army photographer Joe Walsh around 1934. In good condition, with a minor fleck embedded in the image in the area just above her right eyebrow. Five-time Oscar-nominated leading lady Irene Dunne was invariably charming and elegant in beloved films like Cimarron (1931), Thirteen Women (1932), Roberta (1935), Magnificent Obsession (1935), Show Boat (1936), Theodora Goes Wild (1936), The Awful Truth (1937), Love Affair (1939), My Favorite Wife (1950), Penny Serenade (1941), Anna and the King of Siam (1946), Life with Father (1947), and I Remember Mama (1948).
