Photograph signed: "With all good wishes/Cordially,/Lina Basquette/11/7/27". B/w, 10¾x14. Lina Basquette (1907-1994), a leading dancer in the Ziegfield Follies, starred in films of the silent era, including Cecil B. DeMille's The Godless Girl (1929). She was married nine times, beginning with movie mogul Sam Warner, and boasted of affairs with men including boxer Jack Dempsey and mobster Johnny Roselli.
