Especially pretty and uncommonly early 8x10-inch black and white glamour portrait, boldly signed and inscribed in blue fountain pen in the 1930s. In condition for its age, with gentle edgewear. Somehow only nominated for an Oscar at the end of her career, for 1987's The Whales of August, beautiful Ann Sothern was memorable in Let's Fall in Love (1933), Kid Millions (1934), My American Wife (1936), There Goes the Groom (1937), She's Got Everything (1937), Trade Winds (1938), Maisie (1939), Lady Be Good (1941), Panama Hattie (1942), Cry "Havoc" (1943), April Showers (1948), and A Letter to Three Wives (1949).
