Shell/All good Wishes/Lila Lee". B/w, 8x10. On verso she has written:
"P.S. This was taken last week." Lila Lee (1901-1973) was brought
to Hollywood in 1918 by Jesse Lasky. Her first film was The Cruise of the
Make Believe followed by Cecil B. deMille's Male and Female in 1919.
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. Vintage
photo, lightly toned. Slightly soiled. Pinholes and light creases in corners.
Pencil note (unknown hand) on verso below her autograph postscript. Otherwise,
fine condition.
