Bruce (1910-1982, born Helen Virginia Briggs in Minneapolis, Minnesota),
had a long and prolific film career, appearing in some 74 films as well
as making later appearances on the stage and on TV talk shows. Bruce debuted in
1929 (making six pictures that year, including The Love Parade, in which
she was one of Jeanette MacDonald's "ladies in waiting"). A "Goldwyn
Girl" (with Betty Grable) in Whoopee (1931), Bruce got her first
"serious" role in 1934, when she played the title role in Jane Eyre.
Her other notable films include The Great Ziegfeld (1936), The
Invisible Woman (1941), Pardon My Sarong (1942) and Strangers When
We Meet (1960). In 1932, she appeared in Downstairs, written by
and co-starring her first husband, silent screen idol John Gilbert. Lightly
toned and bowed. Pinholes in all corners. Adhesive residue on front (does not
touch signature). Paper clip impression in top right corner. Otherwise in fine
condition.
