An Original Vintage Fan Photo (5x7; measures 5" x 7"), with facsimile signature (Learn More) Dorothy Mackaill was an English actress from the 1920s to the 1980s. She was born in England in 1903, and her parents divorced when she was 11, and she lived with her father for a few years and then ran away from home to London, where her father paid for her living expenses, and she became a chorus girl, first in London, then in Paris! She moved to New York where she got a job with the Ziegfeld Follies and she was befriended by star Marion Davies. She moved to Hollywood when she was 18, and was a star by the time she was 21. The coming of sound helped end her career, although she had a few good talking roles in the early 1930s. By the mid 1930s, her career was pretty much over, and after one final appearance in 1937, she retired and spent her days taking care of her invalid mother, and she passed away in 1990 at the age of 87. Important Added Info: Note that this photo was sent by Hollywood studios to fans who sent letters to their favorite star. They would send a photo like this, printed on a nice paper stock with a facsimile autograph in a pre-printed envelope with the star's name and their studio as the return address, and there was a backing board within the envelope to protect the photo. This photo and envelope is one of a group of 25 photos and envelopes that were received by a specific fan who lived in Massachusetts in the 1920s, and who carefully saved them for many years! Each of the 25 are being sold in a separate auction. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
