An Original Vintage Photo in Reverse Painted Glass Frame (measures 10" x 12" [25 x 30 cm]; opening measures 7 1/2" x 9") (Learn More) Gene Tierney was born in Brooklyn in 1920 to a wealthy family, and she became a stage actress, but this tall (5'7" actress) who was very beautiful (and could act!) was soon "discovered" by Darryl F. Zanuck (who had a thing for beautiful young actresses). She made 9 movies in 1941 and 1942 alone. Her best two roles (and most memorable) came in 1944 and 1945, when she played the leads in Laura and in Leave Her To Heaven (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film). Her personal life was very troubled. She had many failed marriages and relationships (including Oleg Cassini, Tyrone Power Jr., John Kennedy, and others), a mentally handicapped daughter (Tierney was pregnant when exposed to rubella by a fan who broke quarantine), and suffered from depression, and she was treated with electroshock therapy. She passed away in 1991 at the age of 70. Important Added Info: Note that this photo has a FACSIMILE autograph that is within the printing (it has NOT been personally autographed). Note that this is one of eight "reverse painted glass frames" we are currently auctioning, in eight separate auctions. Each has an image of a different star in it, but those are "picture frame photos" that have little value. The real value is in the frames themselves! These were very popular for a time in the 1930s and 1940s, because they took a tremendous amount of time and effort to create, and they often had great art deco designs painted onto the glass by hand. They are obviously fragile, and not many of them survive, and many of the ones that do survive have condition issues. This is a rare opportunity to acquire any of these eight reverse painted glass frames, and of course, the new owner can substitute an image of their choice for the current image (either a family photo, or a different celebrity). These frames make for very striking displays on the wall! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
