Tragic songstress (1910–1980) whose daring autobiography, I'll Cry Tomorrow was published in 1954 and topped The New York Times Best Sellers List. She left out few details of her sordid past and battle with liquor. She would become the first celebrity to associate her name with Alcoholics Anonymous, putting a face on her disease and helping to remove the stigma while aiding other struggling alcoholics. Vintage glossy 8 x 10 photo, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “To Violet—A dear sweet friend, Lillian Roth, Jan. 9-55,” adding a smiley face to the letter “O” of her last name. In fine condition, with a trivial fold to the top left corner, and two small tears, one to the right edge and one to the bottom.
