Maurice Seymour photo, a bare-shouldered image of the singer and
actress
Photograph inscribed and signed: "To Diane/My very best/Lillian
Roth/5/12/54". B/w, 8x10. Singer and actress Lillian Roth
(1910-1980, born Lillian Rutstein in Boston, Massachusetts) began her
professional career at six, when she modeled as a living statue holding a lamp
of knowledge for the Educational Pictures trademark, and debuted on Broadway in
Penrod in 1918. In all, she had 20 movie credits, with most between
1929 and 1934, and sang in over 10 movies. She also appeared in a total of
nine Broadway shows, with most of these between 1918 and 1932. But Roth
was an alcoholic and hit the skids in the 1930s. She married and divorced a
total of five times in her life, with the first four marriages ending before
1945. Roth retired from films after 1934's Masks and Memories and became
a nightclub singer; she returned to the cinema over 40 years later with 1976's
Communion. Roth's autobiography I'll Cry Tomorrow was adapted
into a movie in 1955; Susan Hayward was nominated for an Oscar for her
performance as Roth. Signature light but legible. Toned at edges. Corners
creased. Minor surface creases not seen head on. Otherwise, fine condition.
