LOUISE FAZENDA
Shown holding very long beaded necklace, inscribed to Warner Bros. executive "Doc" Salomon
Photograph inscribed and signed: "For 'Doc' -/My old friend - wishing him/Wishing him the best of everything in/life/Louise". Sepia, 8x10. Louise Fazenda (1895-1962) joined Mack Sennett's Keystone Company in 1915, getting her first starring role in Down on the Farm (1920). Skilled at slapstick, she played mostly comic character roles for two decades until retiring from film after her marriage to producer Hal Wallis in 1939. She was known for her country rube roles, which inspired later comedians like Judy Canova and Minnie Pearl. Fazenda was known for her charitable work, not just donations of money but actively helping needy people. A. M. "Doc" Salomon, a friend of studio mogul Jack Warner who rose to head the London branch of Warner Bros. studios, compiled an extensive collection of celebrity autographs during his nearly 30 years with the studio. A V-1 rocket demolished his London studio in July 1944 and killed Salomon, but his photo collection miraculously survived. Heavy mounting residue on verso. Corners worn. Toned. Signature light but legible. Otherwise, fine condition.
