Astaire, Adele (1898-1981) Fred Astaire's sister and original dance partner, Adele became a major star as the duo moved through vaudeville and onto Broadway. Adele retired and married Lord Francis Cavendish in 1932.
Signed Photograph ("Adele Astaire"). Sepia tone, 8 x 10, n.p., n.d. Inscribed in black ink at bottom "To Arlene with love, Merrily Yours, " Foxing, dampstaining and mat burns throughout, but the picture and inscription remain very presentable and it would be possible to mat the picture so the majority were not obvious. Fair to good condition.
Probably photographed in the very early 1920s, graceful Adele poses atop a delicate bench, revealing a bit of ankle.
Estimated Value $50 - 75.
