Surprisingly uncommon vintage 8x10-inch black and white portrait as Mrs. Roper, in one of her unmistakably tacky outfits, boldly signed and inscribed in green felt-tip pen in the early 1980s. In good condition, with a few minor handling dings. By the time she landed the plum role of sexually repressed, wisecracking landlady Helen Roper on T.V.'s "Three's Company" (1976-1982), character actress Audra Lindley had already been onscreen for 35 years, but typically in background roles that hardly showcased her inimitable comic talent.
