DANIELLE DARRIEUX - AUTOGRAPHED SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH - HFSID 142001

DANIELLE DARRIEUX
Small b/w signed bust photograph by Studio Harcourt of César-nominated actress Danielle Darrieux. She has appeared in over 140 movies since 1931.
Photograph signed "Danielle Darrieux" in blue ink. B/w, 3½x5½, scalloped edges, printed on cardstock. French actress Darrieux (1917-2017) has an arms-length and still-growing resume of over 140 films and TV shows, most of them French-language productions, and has received three nominations for the César Awards, the French version of the Academy Award, for Une chambre en ville (1982), Le lieu du crime (1986) and 8 femmes (2002). Darrieux, who trained on the cello at the Paris Conservatory, made her film debut in 1931's La Bal, with her big break as Baroness Marie Vetsera in Mayerling(1936). She continued working during the Nazi occupation of France, which led some to accuse her of collaboration, but these accusations did nothing to stop or even slow down her career. American audiences may know Darrieux from her few Hollywood films, including The Rage of Paris (1938), Rich, Young and Pretty (1950) and Five Fingers (1952). She also has a few Broadway credits, including a stint as Katherine Hepburn's replacement in Coco (1969-1970). Comic book fans may recognize her from one of her most recent efforts, as the voice of Marjane's grandmother in the film adaptation of Persepolis (2007). Lightly toned, creased and bowed. Mounting residue in top right and bottom left corner. Lightly worn edges. Light scratches (not visible head-on) and scuff marks on image. Lightly soiled on verso (no show-through). Otherwise in fine condition.
