Subject: Carroll Borland
Size: Slightly under 10.5x13.5
Description: Doubleweight portrait taken for a Federal Theatre production titled Help Yourself (1937) inscribed and signed by Borland and her co-stars, one of whom is famed character actor Peter Brocco (1903-1992; science fiction films, Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus, many TV shows including Twilight Zone episodes). The beautiful horror legend (1914-1994) created a lasting impression as the long-haired, pale-faced Luna in Tod Browning's 1935 horror classic, Mark of the Vampire. Her career was extremely brief and only a scant few of her vintage signatures are known to exist, this being the last of two in our collection. (Vintage original photograph; true vintage autograph)
Condition: Very Fine Minus with slightly trimmed edges; Borland's autograph is somewhat light but readable, and there is skipping to Brocco's signature
