Alluring 8x10-inch black and white publicity portrait for the historical epic The Silver Chalice (1954), boldly signed in violet felt-tip pen in her later years. In good condition. Saucy blonde leading lady Virginia Mayo was memorable in films like The Princess and the Pirate (1944), Wonder Man (1945), The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947), A Star Is Born (1948), and White Heat (1949). In later years, she made a number of contributions to the horror, sci-fi and fantasy genres, with roles in such forgettable fare as Castle of Evil (1966), Haunted (1977), Evil Spirits (1990), and The Man Next Door (1997).
