Brotherly Love: Hepburn signs a photo from her Oscar-nominated role in The Philadelphia Story

Stunning vintage pearl-finish 8 x 10 Clarence Sinclair Bull photo, an original publicity still from the 1940 hit The Philadelphia Story (so identified on the reverse), signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Kendall Jones with very best wishes, Katharine Hepburn.” A few light creases (one slightly touching neck), minor dings and surface marks, slightly indistinct contrast of first name against background, and slightly irregular ink flow to “H,” otherwise fine condition. Hepburn is highly coveted in vintage photos, and those picturing her in a signature role—in this case, her triumphant comeback after her infamous demotion to “Box Office Poison”—are quite elusive! PSA/DNA Auction LOA and R&R COA.
