Here is a beautiful rare very early vintage original 8" by 10" photo of actress Virginia Bruce, from 1938, with original studio tag. Known for The Invisible Woman, The Garden Murder Case, Kongo, Born To Dance, The Murder Man, The Great Ziegfeld. American leading lady of the 1930s and 1940s, Virginia Bruce was born in Minnesota but grew up in Fargo, North Dakota, and came to California to attend college. Her blond good looks got her an entry into films, and after a few extra roles and bit parts she began to make serious inroads as a leading woman in secondary films and as the "other" woman in more prestigious productions. She married screen legend John Gilbert, then in his decline. Subsequently she was married to director J. Walter Ruben and to Turkish producer/director Ali Ipar, for whom she appeared in some Turkish films all but unseen in America. She died in 1982. Corner creasing, a few scuffs and marks, minor corner and edge wear. Rare.

Will ship worldwide. I always combine shipping on multiple orders.
