Scarce vintage 3.25 x 5.25-inch black and white portrait, boldly signed in black fountain pen in the 1940s. In good condition for its age. Classically trained stage actress Freda Jackson made just over 25 forays into film, including A Canterbury Tale (1944), Henry V (1944), Great Expectations (1946), A Tale of Two Cities (1958), and Tom Jones (1963). However, she is probably best known for her contributions to the horror, sci-fi and fantasy film genres, unforegttable as Greta in The Brides of Frankenstein (1960), Clara the maid in The Shadow of the Cat (1961), Letitia Wiltey in the Boris Karloff flick Die, Monster, Die! (1965), Tia Zorina in The Valley of Gwangi (1965), and one of the three Stygian witches in Clash of the Titans (1981).
