^Lot 1070 Gwili Andre

Danish actress known more for her bizarre suicide than her brief Hollywood career. In 1959, she surrounded herself with reams of publicity photos and press clippings, all of which represented the fame she had expected but hadn’t achieved, set the paper alight, and allowed herself to be consumed by the fire. Rare vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 photo of Andre in a ruffled black collar, signed in fountain pen. In fine condition, with just a bit of scattered light silvering. Only the second signed photo of Andre we have offered.
