Crawford, Joan (1904-1977). Actress who became the epitome of glamour despite a reputation that identified her as rarely likable. Her rags to riches success began when she won a Charleston contest, beginning her film career as a dancer rivalling Clara Bow. Her popularity waned in the 1940s, but she made a come-back playing mature femme fatales, and later she cultivated her popularity in the horror genre.
Inscribed Photo Signed ("Joan"). Black and white, 9½ x 11½" trimmed, n.p., n.d. Inscribed in black ink "To Johnny". Stamped "Clarence Sinclair Bull" verso. A few small surface abrasions, the largest of which is a 1" hairline abrasion at lower left, else in very good condition.
With a wide-eyed smile, Crawford gleefully poses for this striking Clarence Sinclair Bull photograph.
Estimated Value $300 - 400.
