Cat. #00144131: RUTH GORDON

Sorry, this item has already been sold.

Terrific vintage 8x10-inch black and white portrait as Dolly Levi in Broadway's "The Matchmaker" (1954)-- a role later transformed by Barbra Streisand in the 1969 musical film adaptation-- boldly signed in black fountain pen around the time of the show's run. Some minor surface creases; otherwise, in good condition for its age and accompanied by a certificate from the third-party authentication service J.S.A. Delightfully eccentric stage star and Oscar-winning character actress Ruth Gordon, so memorable in the cult gem Harold and Maude (1975), opposite Bud Cort, is beloved of horror fans for her portrayal of wacky housewife and baby-snatching witch Minnie Castevet in Rosemary's Baby (1968) and its sequel Look What Happened to Rosemary's Baby (1976).  She also played the chain-smoking Bernice in the genuinely disturbing Don't Go to Sleep (1982).
