^Lot 885 Cass Elliot

Singer with the Mamas and Papas, who tragically died in 1974 of a heart attack, although untrue rumors stated she choked on a ham sandwich. Glossy 8 x 10 head-and-shoulders photo of Elliot on stage, signed and inscribed in blue felt tip “To Jim, With my deepest appreciation for your continued interest in my career. Affectionately—Cass Elliot. P.S. Please excuse the spelling errors, I’m sound oriented.” In fine condition, with a small brush to postscript, and a couple scattered surface creases and marks. Elliot is quite elusive in signed photos.
