BETTY GARRETT
Shown pulling Red Skelton's ear in a promotional photo for
Neptune's Daughter
Photograph signed: "Betty Garrett". B/w, 8x10. Shown with Red
Skelton in promotional photo for Neptune's Daughter (1949). Printed
information on verso. Betty Garrett (1919-2011) got her start as a stage
actress, making her debut in Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre in 1938, in a
production of Danton's Death, and debuted on Broadway in the 1942 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 MGM musicals
early in her career, including Words and Music, On the Town
and Take Me Out to the Ballgame. However, her film career was
ruined when her husband Larry Parks admitted to the House 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. Corners
creased. Light surface creases seen head on. Lightly toned. Printed caption on
verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
