Description

Lyda Roberti

From 1932-35 she made 8 comedy and musical films mainly at Paramount, with Fields, Cantor, and other great comedians; her unique singing style was also popular on the radio and records.

Glossy 8 x 10 glamor portrait of the platinum-haired actress, signed in black fountain pen. In fine condition, with scattered dings and light creasing. RRAuction COA.
