TOUGH to acquire-- the majority of autographed photos of the star one encounters were secretarially signed-- vintage 8x10-inch matte-finish black and white portrait, signed and inscribed in blue fountain pen in 1932. In good condition, with the ink a hint light in  some spots. Stage and screen actress Minna Gombell exceled at playing nasty society types and viperous wives and other relations. Her long list of classic film credits included The Thin Man (1934), The Merry Widow (1934), The Lemon Drop Kid (1934), Babbitt (1934), Make Way for Tomorrow (1937), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939), High Sierra (1941), The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), and The Snake Pit (1948).
