Inscribed Printed Photograph Signed in Ink: "To

Bluebeard's Eighth Wife, ©1938 Paramount Productions. Paris-born
actress Claudette Colbert was brought to New York at the age of seven. She
embarked on a stage career in 1925. Colbert disliked film acting; but audiences
responded to her beauty and cultured voice, so she forsook the stage for
Hollywood. Her popularity (and salary) skyrocketed after she was cast as "the
wickedest woman in history," Nero's unscrupulous wife Poppaea, in the Biblical
epic The Sign of the Cross (1932). Colbert showed her flair for
sophisticated comedy by winning the 1934 Academy Award for Best
Actress for It Happened One Night. Traveling the usual "fading
star" route, Colbert made films in Europe and a budget Western in the U.S.
before returning triumphantly to Broadway. In 1961, she returned to Hollywood as
Troy Donahue's mother in Parrish. It would be her last film appearance
until the 1987 TV movie, The Two Mrs. Grenvilles - in which she far
outclassed her material. Slightly creased. Type information on verso (no show
through). Fine condition.
