CELESTE HOLM
The Academy Award winning actress is shown from the chest up at an
older age in this black and white photograph.
Photograph inscribed and signed: "For/Fena-/With every/good
wish/for a/good/& happy/& busy life./If you love/your job,
that's/everything-/Bless you/both-/Celeste/Holm". B/w, 8x10.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. Ink note on verso (no
show through). Fine condition.
