VIRGINIA O'BRIEN
Signature of the stage, screen and television actress and one-time wife of
actor Kirk Alyn.
Signature: "Virginia/O'Brien", 4¼x5½. 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. Fine condition.
