The actor and actress are show together in this black and white publicity photograph for the 1947 film.
Inscribed Photograph signed: "For Tommy thank you from UNICEF/Celeste Holm" and "To Tommy from/Cesar Romero", B/w 10x8. Publicity photograph for the 1947 film Carnival in Costa Rica. A Broadway actor from 1927 and film performer from 1933, Cesar Romero (1907-1994) often played comic second leads. He said that his favorite movie role was that of Cortez in The Captain from Castille (1947). His TV roles included "The Joker" on Batman (1966-1968) and Peter Stavros, who married Jane Wyman's Angela Channing on Falcon Crest (1985-1988). In 1943, Rodgers and Hammerstein cast Celeste Holm (1917-2012) as soubrette Ado Annie in Oklahoma!; both the production itself and Annie's show-stopping song "I Cain't Say No" affirmed Holm's future stardom. She was cast by her studio, 20th Century-Fox, in the role of the love-starved fashion editor in the prestige feature Gentlemen's Agreement (1947), for which she won an Academy Award. The important role of Bette Davis' understanding friend in another Oscar-winner, All About Eve (1950), has immortalized Holm amongst the film cultists. Always choosy about her roles, she remained active in the 1980s and 1990s whenever a good part struck her fancy. Lightly bowed. Slightly creased. Otherwise, fine condition.
