ALPHA BLAIR - AUTOGRAPHED SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH - HFSID 39947

ALPHA BLAIR
The photographer's signed personal photograph of Tennessee Williams with an attached note describing her artistic purpose
Photograph signed: "Alpha Blair" with ball point pen at bottom left edge of photo, B/w, 8x12 overall, 8x10 photo, 2x8 attached note (2 surfaces). The attached note (in her hand) reads in full: "This is my favorite of the photos I made of Tennessee Williams when I worked in his play, 'Small Craft Warnings.' The distorted reflection in the desk contrasts with his placid expression & seems revealing of the inner man." Alpha Blair is an American actress, model and photographer who had her most active spurts during the 1970s and early 1980s. With only 6 on-screen credits (most of which are guest-appearance or other non-title roles), Blair didn't make much of an impact on the highly competitive Hollywood scene. Still, she appeared in a few noteworthy productions, including the popular 70s TV series The Waltons (1974) in which she played a school girl. As a photographer she is much more successful, earning a shooting career with Playboy at the age of 22. She has also photographed some of the most coveted stars of our time, including Tennessee Williams (as seen here) who posed in a reflective portrait for Blair while working on the play Small Craft Warnings (which Blair acted in, 1972). Corners and edges creased. Signature in poor contrast, but legible. Otherwise, fine condition.
