Lovely vintage 8x10-inch black and white chest-up portrait, boldly signed and inscribed in blue fountain pen in the late 1940s.  In very fine condition.  The glamorous blonde singer and film actress headlined in a number of B-level World War II musicals, including Show Business (1944) and Atlantic City (1944).  Among her non-musical endeavors were roles as Stephanie Kirkland in the mystery flick The Missing Guest (1938); Wilma Deering, opposite Buster Crabbe, in the Buck Rogers serial of 1939; and W.C. Fields' daughter in You Can't Cheat an Honest Man (1939).
