An Autographed Letter (measures 6" x 8" [15 x 20 cm]) (Learn More) Virginia O'Brien was a singer and actress from the 1940s to the 1970s. She was nicknamed "Miss Red Hot Frozen Face", and she was signed by MGM in 1940 and appeared in 17 of their musicals through 1948, at which point she was released from her contract, and she only made a couple movies after that. Some of her MGM movies include: Thousands Cheer, The Harvey Girls, and Till the Clouds Roll By. She passed away in 2001 at the age of 81. Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by Virginia O'Brien! This is a letter on Miss O'Brien's printed stationery, which also comes with the printed envelope, both of which are printed with her caricature (which is Hirschfeld-like art, but we don't know who drew it). The letter itself is a really steamy love letter to Vern Evans, who was her boyfriend at the time, and she married him the following year. She talks about how much she misses him and signs with all her "love and kisses". It is interesting to note that she was enclosing $100, so apparently they were in uneven financial situations. Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1980s on. During that time, he would regularly purchase collections of movie memorabilia from both dealers and collectors, and in some of those collections he purchased autographed items, and over the years he did not re-sell any of the autographed items. Now he has gathered up together all of his autographed items and consigned them to us. So all of the items from this consignor we are auctioning were purchased by this dealer from longtime dealers and collectors, and we feel it is quite likely that the autograph on this item is authentic! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
