MARION DAVIES, famous early screen star signed photo

Description

.
Marion Davies
(1897-1961)
Although Marion made many movies from 1917 to 1937, she is best remembered as William Randolph Hearst's mistress. In return he made her a major screen personality and a wealthy woman.
Marion had excellent musical skills and a knack for comic routines, but, although highly touted by Hearst's press, was only average as a dramatic actress.
It was common knowledge that Marion was Hearst's mistress, a relationship that continued to his death. They probably would have married but his wife refused to divorce him.
This 8" x 10" vintage matte sepia is signed in full, with '
Sincerely
'.
Good inscription contrast.
This photo is in excellent condition.
