VIRGINIA O'BRIEN
Signed candid 4x5¾ photograph of a smiling O'Brien in a green
outfit
Inscribed photograph signed: "To Clint/Virginia/O'Brien", in
blue felt tip, Color 4x5¾. 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. Corners and edges
slightly worn. Fine condition.
