Charming vintage 8x10-inch black and white portrait, boldly signed in black marker in the late 1970s or early 1980s.  In good condition, with a few light surface creases, invisible when the photo is viewed head-on.  Dubbed the First Lady of American Theatre, lovely Helen Hayes was one of only eleven entertainers to earn an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony-- and a Presidential Medal of Honor to boot.  On the big screen, she was unforgettable in Arrowsmith (1931), The Sin of Madelon Claudet (1931), A Farewell to Arms (1932), The White Sister (1932), What Every Woman Knows (1934), Stage Door Canteen (1943), My Son John (1952), Anastasia (1956), and Airport (1970).
