Hollywood Vintage Still - Ann Sothern by George
<B>Hollywood Vintage Still - Ann Sothern by George Hurrell (Circa 1936).</B></I> Autographed Still (11" X 14"). George Hurrell, the "Grand Seigneur of the Hollywood Portrait," left MGM to set up his own studio on Sunset Boulevard in 1932. He soon became the toast of the town and all the major stars flocked to Hurrell for portraits. It was during that six year period in his own studio that he would photograph all of the Hollywood greats, including a young beauty named Ann Sothern. This gorgeous image, with its trademark lighting and composition, has been signed simply "To Per - The Wonderful! Fondest Regards - Ann." Sothern would be signed to MGM in 1939 and perform wonderfully in 10 "Maisie" films, from an original script once intended for Jean Harlow, before her untimely death in 1937. In 1953, Sothern portrayed the first working woman on an American TV sitcom ("Private Secretary"). The photograph bears Hurrell's embossed stamp in the lower right corner, and has only small corner dings and creases, a light crease in the top center field, and light scratches in the center field. Very Fine. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
