O'Brien", 7x9¼. At upper margin, O'Brien has dated her signature:
"Jan. 18, 1972". Magazine biography, unsigned, 2½x4½, affixed at lower
right margin. Stage, screen and television actress and singer Virginia O'Brien
(1919-2001) got her big break in 1939, when she appeared in the Los Angeles
stage production of Meet the People. Paralyzed with stage fright, she sang the
words to her song with a zombie-like expression that delighted the crowd (who
thought it was part of the show) and resulted in O'Brien being known to some
fans as "Miss Deadpan". O'Brien, who reprised her role in the 1944 film
version of the play, was signed by MGM in 1940, and appeared in a number of
other MGM musicals, including Thousands Cheer (1943), DuBarry Was
a Lady (1943), The Harvey Girls (1946) and Ziegfeld Follies
(1946). After leaving MGM, she appeared in only two more films, Francis in
the Navy (1955) and Walt Disney's Gus (1976), preferring to
concentrate television and stage work. O'Brien was married to her second
husband, actor Kirk Alyn, from 1942 until their divorce in 1955. The couple
had two daughters and a son. Slightly creased. Irregular left edge from removal
from bound book. Fine condition.
