Excellent 8x10-inch black and white publicity portrait as Marianne, being menaced by David Peel as the titular bloodsucker, in the Hammer Studios horror classic The Brides of Dracula (1960), boldly signed in black felt-tip marker in-person at a film convention appearance, not long before her death. In good condition, with one minor handling ding and a faint crease to the upper left-hand corner, both invisible when the photo is viewed head-on. Gorgeous French-born Yvonne Monlaur was also memorable in the B-horror flicks Circus of Horrors (1960) and The Terror of the Tongs (1961).
