8x10-inch black and white portrait, looking luminous in her prime, boldly signed and inscribed in blue fine-tip pen in the 1980s. In good condition. Sophisticated Irish-born stage and screen actress Valerie Hobson is remembered for films like Great Expectations (1946) and Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949). She made several key contributions to the horror and sci-fi genres, playing Mrs. Kendrick in the Frankenstein-inspired Onslow Stevens flick Life Returns (1935), Helena Landless in Mystery of Edwin Drood (1935), Elizabeth in James Whale's Bride of Frankenstein (1935), and Lisa Glendon in Werewolf of London (1935).
