She costarred with Rudolph Valentino in Blood and Sand (1922) and with
Lon Chaney (Sr.) in The Unholy Three (1930). Highly publicized
illnesses resulted in fewer offers. Lee appeared in only three movies after 1937
and a few television appearances in the 1950s. Her son, James Kirkwood, won
the 1976 Pulitzer Prize in Drama for writing A Chorus Line. Signature
in a lighter ink than inscription. Some foxing, rounded corners, minor creases,
