Inscribed photograph signed: "For Gene 'G.B.'/My faithful 'keeper
of the cat'/Much love always/Yours faithful always/Betty Garrett," in blue
felt tip pen. B/w, 8x10. Betty Garrett (1919-2011) made her acting
debut in a production of Danton's Death (1938) with Orson Welles' Mercury
Theatre. Her Broadway debut came in 1942 with the musical revue Of V We
Sing. Garrett broke onto the silver screen after MGM saw her performance in
another Broadway revue, Call Me Mister (1946-1948). Her energetic
dancing and acting often earned her second lead in musicals early in her career.
However, her film career was ruined when her husband Larry Parks admitted to
the House of Un-American Activities Committee that he was a Communist. Most of
her roles after this were on TV, including recurring roles as Irene Lorenzo
on All in the Family (1973-75), which earned her a Golden Globe in 1975,
and Edna Babish on Laverne and Shirley (1976-1981). She was
nominated for an Emmy for a guest star appearance as Molly Firth on
Becker in 2003. Adhesive residue on corners. Toned. Edges lightly
worn. Lightly bowed. Otherwise, fine condition.
