Inscribed Photograph signed: "For Mark Clark,/we won't
forget,/thank you,/Blanche Sweet", B/w 8x10. Blanche Sweet
(1985-1986), born Sarah Blanche Sweet, made her first appearance on stage
when she was 18 months old, was a dancer by the age of four and began her
acting career at the age of 14 with D.W. Griffith at Biograph. Her early
films with the studio included The Lonedale Operator (1911) and Judith
of Bethulia (1914), before she left Biograph in 1914 to work with Cecil
B. DeMille (The Warrens of Virginia, 1915). Best known for the
title role in the 1923 film, Anna Christie, Sweet's other film credits include
Tess of the D'Ubervilles (1924, directed by her then-husband,
Marshall Neilan). Sweet, who made a long list of silent films, appeared in
only three "talkies", including Girl in Hollywood (1930) before retiring
from films at the age of 34. She returned to the stage, appearing in plays on
Broadway and with touring companies. Sweet also worked in radio during the
1930s. After the death of her second (1936-1958) husband, stage co-star
Raymond Hackett, Sweet returned to the screen for a final time in the 1959
film, The Five Pennies. Pinhead size
black marks. Otherwise, fine condition.
