Inscribed photograph signed: "To Barbara,/Kindest
regards/Kathryn/Grayson" in black ink. Facsimile signature above
inscription. 3½x5. Discovered by MGM while a teenaged vocalist on Eddie
Cantor's radio program, Kathryn Grayson (1922-2010) made her first
major film appearance in Andy Hardy's Private Secretary (1940), in
which she sang "Lucia" and "Voices of Spring". Her first leading role came
two years later, when she starred as the title character in M-G-M's Rio
Rita. Grayson, who appeared in such films as Anchors Aweigh (1943),
The Kissing Bandit (1948) and The Toast of New Orleans (1950),
gave her finest performances in Showboat (1951) and Kiss Me Kate
(1953). In the latter two films, she was teamed with baritone Howard Keel, who
would later become her singing partner in nightclubs and in summer stock.
Although Grayson made her last film in 1956 (The Vagabond King), she
returned to the small screen in 1980, appearing on Murder, She Wrote.
