Choice 8x10-inch black and white still portrait from the B-movie favorite Escape in the Fog (1945), boldly signed with her name alone in black felt-tip pen in the 1990s. In good condition. Tall, cool B-movie favorite Nina Foch made her screen debut as Nicki Saunders in the Bela Lugosi horror classic Return of the Vampire (1944) and starred that same year as Marie Latour in Cry of the Werewolf. Foch went on to appear in classic films like A Song to Remember (1945), My Name is Julia Ross (1945), Johnny Allegro (1949), An American in Paris (1951), and Executive Suite (1954), for which she was nominated for an Academy Award. Despite considerable talent, her career foundered in the late 1950s, and was she increasingly relegated to supporting roles, including Bithiah in The Ten Commandments (1956) and Helena Glabrus in Spartacus (1960).
